I'm hoping for a tax on gambling winnings at the punter's marginal rate - this to include the lotteries.
After all tax is used as a weapon to fight cigarette addiction, right? So why not gambling? It's unearned income isn't it.4 -

We didn't all vote for the pain to come today, but the Conservative party won the election, so I expect a budget that ministers to the Conservative support, and the rest of the population to pay the price.
Luckily we also have a free market in labour, so I expect reaction in the future in the form of strikes and direct action, like on the tube and railways, and like in France.
I expect Michael Gove to bring in more anti union laws, but they may flounder on more creative worker disruption.3 -
Smoking fags has a massive effect on the NHS. Gambling, although effects peoples lives, doesn't really hit the publics pocket.cafcfan said:I'm hoping for a tax on gambling winnings at the punter's marginal rate - this to include the lotteries.

The amount of tax paid on cigarettes comfortably covers treatment - although this is an admittedly nebulous area - for smoking related diseases.ValleyGary said:

A greater and more far reaching drain on the NHS is alcohol; but everyone likes a booze, don't they?

Suits me, I make all my wine at home and there's no tax on that. Homemade beer and cider is terrible, but if needs must.......ValleyGary said:

And if you call a 5 fold accumulator then imo you have done a good job in terms of the skill to pick the results. Should the government be able to tax such a skill?ValleyGary said:

If it was considered a skill and not luck it would probably be subject to capital gains tax on winnings.2

I say that tongue in cheek SELR. But I often think to myself how bloody good I am when an acca comes in. Unfortunately for me it's about every year and a halfSELR_addicks said:If it was considered a skill and not luck it would probably be subject to capital gains tax on winnings.

You can tell which age demographic doesn't vote Tory, under 25s being hit massively with this budget in comparison to everyone else.0

Cutting tax credits and turning the minimum wage into a living wage sound sensible to me.0
