More than 40 MPs likely to benefit from scrapping of 45p tax rate

Every cabinet minister to benefit from change that ends top rate of tax for people on more than 150,000 a year

An estimated 41 MPs will benefit from the scrapping of the top rate of income tax - including every cabinet minister.

Owing to MPs' standard pay increasing to 84,144 from April this year, 2022-23 would have been the first year that senior government ministers would have to pay the 45p rate of tax.
