Tax and the Election and Help with Bills

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Tax and the Election and Help with Bills

How will our political parties approach how much tax you'll pay if they're elected?

Hundreds of thousands of people are saving money and sorting their finances thanks to a new service for those in need.

Nineteen days to go before your cross on a ballot paper will help decide who runs the country. You have been telling Money Box what matters to you.  This week we'll discuss how much tax you already pay and whether that will change after 4th July. 

The head of the UK payment regulator has rejected calls to delay a new fraud reimbursement plan which is due to begin on 7th October.  It will mean that victims of fraud are fully reimbursed for losses up to £415,000.  We'll have more on this story.

And more than half a million people are now getting help with their finances, often saving substantial sums of money, thanks to something called the Vulnerability Registration Service.  What is it and how does it work?
