NEWS: Mixed reactions to graduate tax proposals
Friday, July 16th, 2010
In a major speech yesterday, Business Secretary Vince Cable has suggested that the current top-up fees system should be replaced with an alternative graduate tax. This graduate tax would see students pay a marginally higher income tax than non-graduates. While details have not yet emerged, student leaders hope that the Cable proposals will mirror those of the NUS ‘Blueprint’. In this document, the NUS outlined a similar idea, where the more a graduate earns, the more they pay back – but even then it is a small percentage at 2.5%.
