BANGKOK, Oct 16 (Reuters) – British finance minister John Healey should favour property tax reform, broader sales taxes and better-targeted welfare spending ahead of raising taxes on banks or workers in his annual budget this month, the International Monetary Fund said on Friday. The IMF praised British fiscal policy at its annual meeting in Bangkok this week for reducing borrowing over the past couple of years and for targeting a balanced budget, excluding long-term investment, by 2029/30.
