Thinktank linked to Reform UK reportedly planning proposals for significant tax cuts
A thinktank associated with the Reform UK party is expected to release a policy document next week advocating for major tax reductions. The proposals reportedly include the elimination of inheritance tax and the gradual removal of capital gains tax.
The Centre for a Better Britain (CFABB), a thinktank with ties to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, is preparing to publish a 200-page policy document. According to reports from Bloomberg, the document will outline a series of economic proposals intended to influence the party’s platform ahead of the next general election.
The core of the reported policy plan involves significant tax relief for the wealthiest taxpayers. Specifically, the thinktank is expected to call for the total abolition of inheritance tax and a phased removal of capital gains tax. While these proposals are being framed as a blueprint for Reform UK’s future economic strategy, the details remain based on reports from unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg.
The Guardian notes that these potential policies represent a clear shift toward supply-side economic measures. Because the document has not yet been officially released, the full scope of the thinktank's recommendations—and the extent to which Reform UK will formally adopt them—remains subject to confirmation. The report highlights the growing influence of thinktanks in shaping the political agendas of smaller parties as they prepare for national electoral contests.
