<p>The latest statistics published by HM Revenue and Customs project that the top
one per cent of income taxpayers will pay 26.9% of all income tax receipts this year,
higher than in any year prior to 2010-11. The Government will continue to keep the
taxation of high earners under review to ensure it is fair, incentivises hard work
and contributes towards the long-term sustainability of the tax system.</p><p>The
percentage share of income tax liabilities in 2020-21 (27.0%) is estimated from the
published information for the 2013-14 Survey of Personal Incomes. This data has been
projected using the economic assumptions consistent with the Office for Budget Responsibility’s
November 2016 Economic and fiscal outlook.</p>
