Left-wing TDs vow to tax millionaires if in government

Left-wing TDs and election candidates have promised to increase the tax on millionaires and hike the corporation tax rate to 15% if they enter government.

The joint Anti Austerity Alliance and People Before Profit platform also said they would be willing to talk to Sinn Féin about supporting them in government after the election, depending on their policies.

Launching common principles in Dublin yesterday, the parties said they were offering “radical alternatives” and would run 31 candidates in the election.
