Tories tax nerves were fueled today as a shock poll found voters believe Labour is more likely to cut the burden.
Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt have been facing growing calls from MPs for early action to reduce levies on individuals and businesses.
However, the Treasury has all-but ruled out action in the Budget in March - with warnings that cuts could only be announced in the Autumn if inflation has been slashed.
The Savanta research for the Sunday Telegraph found 49 per cent of Brits thought the burden is too high. Some 28 per cent believed it was 'about right', and 13 per cent wanted it raised further.
Asked which of the political parties they 'trust more' to cut taxes, 49 per cent said Labour compared to 23 per cent who opted for the Conservatives.
