Article preview: With the Tory leadership contest, and race to 10 Downing Street, now down to two candidates, frontrunner Boris Johnson has revealed new tax proposals. Should he become Prime Minister, Johnson has proposed an increase in the higher rate income tax threshold to £80,000. This threshold, where taxpayers start to pay 40% income tax, currently stands at £50,000.
