Evan and Sarah: Should we pay more tax?

The World at One Highlights

Available for over a year

The UK is almost in the middle of OECD countries in terms of our tax burden. Denmark is at the top - it has one of the highest tax rates in the world. It's also consistently rated as one of the happiest countries in the world. The Chancellor will be trying to make her sums add up for the Spending Review in June and a leaked memo shows the Deputy PM Angela Rayner proposed some tax rises. The World at One's Sarah Montague and PM's Evan Davies discuss how much tax we pay - and whether we should pay more.
