Local authority income-tax rate retained, with a capped surcharge limiting additional liability above the income threshold.

The Finance Bill maintains the existing specified income-tax rate for local authorities and imposes a surcharge on income-tax where total income exceeds a threshold; it caps the combined income-tax and surcharge liability so that the total payable on income above the threshold does not exceed the tax on the threshold amount by more than the excess income.
