Areas for discussion

• Whether there are policy areas where the impact on different generations appears particularly uneven and what the Government can do to address such imbalances.
• The assessments the government has made on the possibility of greater differentiation in the tax system by age. Should retired higher rate tax payers be taxed on the age-related benefits they receive?
• The impact of the ageing society on the tax base and the tax burden on different generations.
• The impact of stamp duty on home ownership among different generations.
• The Government's industrial strategy and how it can boost skills for different age groups.
