Unlike other analyses, it looks not only at the effect of direct tax and welfare decisions, but also the impact of changes to indirect tax (such as the freeze to fuel duty) and changes to spending on public services.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This analysis clearly shows that the richest households have made the largest contribution towards reducing the deficit. In fact, by 2015-16 the net cash contribution to reducing the deficit of the richest 20 per cent will be larger than the net contribution of the remaining 80 per cent put together.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Deighton question first answered 16/12/2014 16:54:42 answering member 4262 label Biography information for Lord Deighton
