Abstract

In the ten year period of Mrs Thatcher's government, and especially over the last few years, there have been many changes to the tax and benefit system. In this short article we show how these changes have affected households in the UK. We performed a similar exercise in 1986, but htis was before the recent large income tax cuts and national insurance and benefit reforms.
