Tom Forth: U.K. neighbors have stronger economies and higher marginal tax rates
U.K. trails neighbors on economy, taxes

Tom Forth, industry influencer, states that every neighbor of the U.K. has a stronger economy, with France being roughly similar. He also notes that these countries tend to have higher marginal tax rates on income.

Forth acknowledges arguments for spurring economic growth by cutting taxes, but asserts that taxing for growth is a reasonable approach as demonstrated by other nations.

Forth has previously highlighted economic comparisons across regions. In one post, he noted that office rents in Mountain View are twice those in Manchester and Leeds. He has also discussed OECD data on GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity. These references contribute to ongoing discussion of economic performance between the U.K. and its peers.
