Limit tax relief for high earners and raise £10b - TUC‏

At today's TUC Beyond Crisis conference TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber will call on the Chancellor to cap the amount of tax relief that can be claimed by those earning more than £100,000 a year at £5,000. This measure alone would raise £10 billion a year. http://www.tuc.org.uk/economy/tuc-17250-f0.cfm
