 Our figures do add up

It is obviously true that raising tax and NI thresholds on low earners does not directly benefit the very poor, who have no taxable income (Leaders, June 9). But it does cut the disincentives to work for those on low pay, which are created by high marginal rates of tax and benefit withdrawal (almost 2 million workers face rates of more than 60%). Our other policies, including scrapping council tax, directly help the very poor, especially pensioners, large numbers of whom do not access council tax benefit.

It is a little premature to dismiss the numbers as "not adding up". When our tax commission report appears, you will find they do. And it is silly to argue that environmental taxes cannot raise revenue and influence behaviour at the same time. Existing taxes do both, and ours would do more of both. In economist-speak, as long as the price elasticity of demand is greater than zero and less than one, higher environmental taxes raise revenue and reduce the growth of emissions simultaneously.
