We interrogated questions around bracket creep and heard that data on irregular capital income is likely to be more useful, in terms of Government income and also equity, and the four principles were discussed—horizontal and vertical equity, efficiency for the Government and taxpayers, and that whatever is done should minimise distortions. We heard that automatically adjusting for bracket creep during a pandemic would make responding more clumsy and that the Tax Working Group had not recommended such changes because of the unpredictable nature of external events, exactly like we've seen with COVID and then the war in Ukraine. The Minister also mentioned that the drivers are correct as they are. For example, unemployment is at a record 3.3 percent against expectations that it could reach above 10 percent. So he offered that as an explanation for saying that bracket creep was something that was already being managed correctly with the right drivers.
