The party says income tax should rise to help Wales through an 'unprecedented crisis'.
Ministers can adjust the basic rate, higher rate and additional rate by 10p in every £1, but do not have powers over the thresholds at which people pay the different rates.Basic rate: £12,571 to £50,270 - 20pPlaid Cymru is calling for a 1p rise in the basic rate, a 2p increase in the higher rate, and a 3p hike in the additional rate.
"And, of course, it's not just the NHS - workers everywhere are on strike for fairer pay and better work conditions. "Increasing the higher and additional rates of income tax in the way Plaid Cymru are proposing would only raise £75m - the bulk of the revenue raised under these proposals would come from basic rate tax payers in Wales.
Conservative leader in the Welsh Parliament Andrew RT Davies said: "Plaid Cymru's so-called "co-operation agreement" with Labour is a coalition in all but name. If they really lacked faith in Labour ministers in the Senedd, they would stop propping them up.
