Move announced in budget not a long-term solution, says Allinson
There are more assurances that the planned rise to the higher rate of Income Tax will be a temporary move.
As part of his 2024/25 budget, Treasury Minister Alex Allinson announced an increase from 20 per cent to 22 per cent.
The extra funds will go directly to health and social care services on the Island.
Dr Allinson told Manx Radio how the change will work:
Island-based Strix factory to close
Ramsey operations to transfer to China plant
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Eateries closing on several days due to lack of staff
Second candidate declares for Douglas East
Quids Inn owner Andrew Saunders to stand for election
Manx Care seeks interim medical director
Current postholder currently seconded to CEO post
Braddan Commissioners introduces new 'strategic plan' for the next three years
Chair Andew Jessopp says it sets out authority's 'aims and ambitions'
