on his pledge to &#8220;bring power home&#8221; to &#8220;every postcode in the country&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Under our plans, more of the taxes raised in a community will stay in that community,&#8221; the prime minister added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The power to raise and control tax revenues is highly centralised in the UK, making the country an outlier by international standards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The share of national taxes collected at a local level in the UK is 5.8%, the lowest in the G7, according to the OECD<span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">, <!-- -->external<\/span>, a global policy forum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">That share is far below that of other countries with large economies such as France (20.4%), Japan (36%), and the US (45.7%).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">As it stands, mayors of strategic authorities in England receive most of their funding from central government grants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">During his time as Greater Manchester mayor, Burnham pushed for greater control over tax revenue, rather than having to rely on government grants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The UK government had already been exploring whether a share of revenue from national taxes could be distributed to metro mayors, before Burnham became prime minister earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But in a major speech on devolution in June, Burnham said he would &#8220;oversee the biggest rebalancing of power our country has ever seen&#8221; if he became prime minister.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Burnham has put devolution at the heart of his plan for government, arguing that metro mayors are best placed to boost economic growth across the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
