The combined effect of income tax and national insurance payments forces people in employment to pay much higher rates of tax than those who benefit from lower capital gains tax (CGT) rates on property and shares income, according to the Intergenerational Foundation think tank.

"Earned income, in such cases, is taxed two to four times more heavily than unearned income," said the foundation, an independent charity that funds research into issues affecting young people, in a new report.
