IPT raises £4.8bn a year
ABI calls on government to cease this tax “raid on the responsible” and say no to further rises as report highlights lack of consumer awareness about the tax.
Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) raises up to £4.8bn a year for the government according to a report from the Social Market Foundation (SMF).
