Labour's plans for the economy will leave the average family paying almost £1,500 more a year in taxes than when the party came to power, experts have said.

Britain's most respected economic forecaster said a double-income couple with children would lose £1,467 more to the taxman in 2011 than they did in 1997.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies said double-earner couples without children would fare worse, being £2,209 out of pocket in real terms.

And by 2011-12, the average household pay £385 a year more, according to its detailed analysis.

The biggest winners are out-of-work couples with children, who will be £2,901 better off, and unemployed lone parents, who will pay £2,492 less.

The tax burden is set to rise because of the Government's planned half-penny increase in National Insurance contributions in 2011.

The Government says the hikes are needed to help pay for the current 2.5 per cent cut in VAT, which is aimed at increasing consumer spending and easing the impact of the recession....

New Labour - "I want them all dead. I want their family's dead. I want their houses burnt to the ground. I want to go there in the middle of the night and piss on the ashes."
