It would take the worry out of paying my bills, basically. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
You'd fill up a tank of petrol, which would be really helpful. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
The gas, electricity, you know, these are... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
To be a bit more comfortable, you know. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
I would pay off some of the debt, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
like, try and get out of our overdraft. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
I could fall back on it if there were problems. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Car insurance, house insurance. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
I don't think I WOULD spend it. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
I think I'd put it away, and when I need it urgently, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
obviously, then I'd get it out and use it. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
How would you use an extra £600 per year? | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
What real difference would it make in your life? | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Since the General Election, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
the Welsh Liberal Democrats have been making sure | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
you get to keep more of the money you earn, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
to spend on the things you need | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
by cutting the amount of income tax you pay. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
From April, working people will be paying £600 a year less | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
than they were under Labour. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
The mother working full-time on a minimum wage | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
has had her income tax bill halved. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
The couple thinking about starting a family are paying £1,200 less. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
And if you're one of the 100,000 people in Wales | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
working tirelessly in the lowest-paid jobs, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
you no longer pay any income tax at all. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
I think now...with the knowledge I had an extra £600 in my pay packet, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
I would start to think very carefully | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
about not going to spend it on a whim. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
I think, right now, I'd be setting it against the future costs I know, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
particularly around domestic fuel and house insurance, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
which I know are going to cost me more this year. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
So, definitely, it's a positive thing. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Over the course of, say, a year, I would put it towards my savings | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
and eventually, you know, want to buy a property at some point, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
so it would help a little bit to go towards that. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
I would pay off the debts that I've got, actually, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
so that I don't have to pay the interest on them, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
which is...just as bad as having the debt, if not worse. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
That would probably go towards heating costs, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
and...the electrics gone up, gas has gone up. And food... | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
I think food's going to go up more. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
So £600 will be a great help. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
This will help so many people like myself and other families, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
other individuals out there that are striving | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
and actually trying to contribute. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
The Welsh Liberal Democrats are building a stronger economy | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
in a fairer society, enabling everyone to get on in life. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
And that's why the Welsh Liberal Democrats are cutting income tax | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
for you and the millions of working people just like you. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
Let me know why that £600 | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
is important to you. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 |
