Tax all welfare and benefits at identical rates as earned income

Summary

Ensure all welfare and benefits payments, allowances and subsidies are subject to identical personal tax, national insurance rates and starting thresholds as earned and pension income We believe the fact that a working person has to pay tax and national insurance on very low income levels (just over £12,500 per year) whilst some benefits recipients can receive more than this (and some receive substantially more) tax free is an immoral outrage.
