General Roberto Vannacci calls for remigration. Italy for Italians.







The £100,000 tax trap is pushing increasing numbers of GPs to work part-time. Now only 19% of GPs work full time, with the figure declining to 11% for the under 40s Unlike many salaried employees, GP partners & many sessional GPs have considerable control over their hours, making labour supply relatively flexible. Unsurprisingly they choose to work less to avoid paying tax of 60% or more. The 60% rate at £100K is an inefficient policy that restricts the availability of medical care. It falls on workers who have scarce professional skills, can often choose their hours & are in occupations with significant shortages. Removing the tax penalty at £100k would result in some 400 additional full-time-equivalent GPs & around 2m additional GP appointments a year.
