Tax rises will wipe out wage inflation

Salaries are rising at the fastest rate in 24 years, but wage inflation could lead to millions being less well-off as tax burden grows, warns Blick Rothenberg

The tax advisory firm warned that wages are increasing as a result of inflation reflecting that the cost of goods and services is going up but that higher salaries does not mean that individuals will have the income to cover the cost of price rises.

The firm warns that the increasing earnings could move them into a higher bracket of tax or could mean that they may lose other income support which means that their net pay does not increase proportionately to the greater cost of living.
