Credit which will help put welfare spending on a more sustainable path. The Government
wants to move from a low wage, high tax, high welfare society to a higher wage, lower
tax, lower welfare society. That means more emphasis on support to hardworking families
on low incomes by reducing income tax through increases in the personal allowance
and increasing wages, than on topping up low wages through tax credits.</p><p> </p><p>
