This report surveyed a 3,000 strong sample of the British population on their attitudes towards multiple aspects of tax and spending, including:

• The balance of tax and spending
• Attitudes to different tax rises
• Attitudes to current tax levels
• Support for higher or lower pay in the public sector
• Support for cuts by specific programme
• Rules to control government borrowing

The report also conducted a comparison with the British Social Attitudes survey, finding significant attitude changes since the last BSA survey in 2007.
