LIZ Truss today vowed to review ALL taxes in a huge shake-up.
The new PM suggested she would embark on a major plan to rip up decades of sky-high rates to help struggling businesses and firms.
She told the BBC: "We have to look at all tax rates. So corporation tax needs to be competitive with other countries so that we can attract that investment."
Her words open the door to a major shift in tax policy – such as reviewing income tax brackets, cutting it, or ditching some levies completely.
The PM is already eyeing up slashing income tax down to 19p – as The Sun revealed at the weekend.
The PM is looking at whether to bring forward the move, which had been planned for 2024, as she kicks off her premiership in earnest.
Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng will lay out his first mini-Budget on Friday.
Ms Truss confirmed it would include reversing the National Insurance tax rises.
