Speaking at his first press conference since taking office, Burnham revealed he is considering increasing the currently frozen personal allowance—the income threshold at which people begin paying income tax. When directly asked about reinstating the 50p additional or top tax rate, Burnham neither confirmed nor ruled out the measure.
