  At last the Coalition seems to have listened to the needs of the poorer people amongst us as the lowest paid will soon be lifted out of paying income tax altogether.
  
  From April this year the lowest paid will be allowed to earn as I understand it and heavens Im not a tax specialist..but as far as I can understand it, will be allowed to earn up to £7475.00 per year without paying tax at all.
  
  As much as it grieves me to admit it, I have a feeling this was a Libdem move rather than a Tory move and perhaps even coming from the pen of Nick Clegg himself. Clegg did promise all along that he would take the lowest paid out of income tax altogether and by jove he appears to have done it.
  
  But we are soooo used to politicians scandalously breaking promises, and sadly the worst of these was Nick Clegg as any student will tell you, so when they deliver on something promised one nearly falls over in shock and palpitation.
  
  People earning up to £35,000 a year will also be better off. This lenient tax approach encourages people to get up and go out to work which is a very good thing all round. Those established in work..ie those earning OVER £35,000 a year will pay considerably more Tax. But from a socialist point of view thats all very good as far as Im concerned. The right people are being targeted which isnt always the case.
  
  So at last a bit of good news from the Coalition.
