A number of Friday's papers focus on reports that Chancellor John Healey plans to tax Britain's banks in his upcoming budget. Healey is "poised to launch a tax raid on banks" despite describing them as part of "the crown jewels" of the UK economy, according to the Daily Telegraph. Ahead of the Budget on 28 October, the chancellor is said to be "considering raising a surcharge on bank profits", the paper says.
Similarly, the Guardian reports Healey could "tap the financial sector for additional revenue" to "help offset the damage inflicted on the public finances by war in the Middle East". One option is to tax banks more heavily, which think tanks and trade unions have been calling for, the paper says. It has been reported the biggest four banks collectively made about £15bn profit in the first six months of this year.
The i Paper focuses on household impacts from the chancellor's proposed Budget under the headline "energy bills set for double rise in new year". The paper says "Healey refuses to commit to extending PM's cost of living measure".
