Tom Clougherty referenced in the Telegraph

IEA Executive Director Tom Clougherty was mentioned in The Sunday Telegraph in reference to proposals to introduce a land value tax coming from both the left and right.

The article said:

“Supporters argue that a land tax could simultaneously unlock growth and provide additional revenue for the Treasury.

“In Westminster, one of the richest boroughs in the country, the annual council tax bill for a typical home this year is £973. By contrast, in Hartlepool, a heavily deprived part of the country, homeowners in the equivalent tax band are charged £2,278.

“Tom Clougherty… has called for land-based taxes very similar to the proposals put forward by Adam at the IFS.”
