Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Direct to your inbox at 5pm every weekdayThe Lib Dems' biggest revenue raiser (£7.2 billion) comes from tackling tax avoidance and evasion.
58% : It's also worth noting that quite a lot of tax avoidance comes from "normal" people doing things like getting work done at home and paying in cash.
53% : There would be a super tax on private jets, higher rates of Air Passenger Duty for anyone who flies more than three times a year and Capital Gains Tax reformed so that the "Top 0.1%" pay a lot more.
53% : HMRC says it only collected 95% of the tax it believes it was owed last year so this is a worthy objective but past crackdowns tell us it's impossible to predict with any certainty what you'll get.
