WALES RESIDENTS FACE AN INCREASING TAX BURDEN
How residents in Wales could face 60% in direct taxation
The Budget is nearly upon us on the 26th November 2025. Is there a need to be financially fearful? The answer, of course, is, “Yes” largely because we have socialist governments in Westminster, Cardiff and Monmouthshire.
Members are increasingly expressing their financial concerns to the Association; not just over the Chancellor’s likely raid on our incomes, pensions and investments but also over what is happening within devolved and local government.

Margaret Thatcher was ever scathing of socialism and never missed an opportunity to wage war against such a doctrine. No better example exists that her final PMQ’s as Prime Minister which is well worth a watch - see the video on left.

Message from Mims Davies MP
Shadow Secretary of State for Wales
People are waking up to Labour's failure over 25 years in Wales. No other Party has the policies to deal with the problems created by Labour over the past quarter of a century, only the Conservatives are talking about the issues that really effect people living in Wales.
Monmouthshire Conservative Association News
More By Election victories for the Conservatives in Monmouthshire
Reform may have been making a lot of noise recently and claiming ascendancy in the opinion polls, but here in Monmouthshire it has been the Conservative Party that has won most of the plaudits in recent By Elections.
In three by elections this summer, Lisa Dymock won the Leechpool Ward on the Portskewett Community Council, Xavier Turner won Wyesham on the Monmouth Town Council and Edward Saville captured the Caerwent Ward on the Caerwent Community Council.
Our representation on Town and Community Councils has been considerably increased over the past few years and this will be an important factor in the Local Government elections in May 2027.
Welsh Conservatives Pledge to Abolish Stamp Duty
Viewed as one of Britain's most hated taxes, the Welsh Conservatives have pledge to abolish Stamp Duty in Wales. Describing it as a ‘dreadful tax’, Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride, has stated that this tax, "means that people don’t downsize … people don’t move from one place to another readily to where the work is … it’s an appalling tax’.
The Centre for Policy Studies agrees and has commented that, "Kemi Badenoch is right to axe Britain's worst tax". They claim that cutting it would be one of the most cost-effective things a government could do. In particular, their research has found it to have been a drag on property transactions which has been detrimental to the British economy because there is a very strong correlation between the number of property transactions and the number of houses built.
Taking into account the past twenty years, there is evidence to show that, approximately, one new house is built for every ten property transactions. Scrapping the tax would make it easier for people to move house. This would then give builders the confidence to build more houses which would not only help boost the economy but also help in increasing home ownership.
