The election is a great time for highlighting important concerns and getting our politicians to take notice. New research reveals that tax is the main issue that we feel could influence our vote this May. Despite this, there is a clear lack of understanding when it comes to how our taxes are spent. The majority of us admit that our comprehension of the main political parties’ tax policies is either vague or that we feel completely in the dark. What is clear is that few of us feel that we genuinely get good value for money on public services.

Why is there so much confusion around this subject when we consider it so important?
