Treasury member believes the income tax rise will be beneficial
A Treasury member believes the Manx public will be happy to pay a little more in tax if it means they have faster access to doctors and dentists.
Andrew Smith has been reacting to this week's Budget, which saw a 2% increase announced to higher rate income tax.
The rise will generate an additional £20m, which will be ringfenced for the health service.
Mr Smith hopes Island residents will see the benefit:
Edge lighting at Isle of Man Airport '50% unserviceable'
easyJet blamed 'failure of runway lighting system' for cancelled flight
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
Question marks over beloved establishment's future
Picking ministers with experience of department's remit 'will help government deliver'
DEFA Minister says she was delighted to be offered role
Rapists appealing sentence and conviction following retrial
