The BBC is running an election panel, asking voters for their thoughts ahead of 8 June.

We asked:

Tax has become a big election issue. Who should be paying more and who less? What should our approach to taxation be and whose policies do you support if any?

Mandy, Worcester: "I believe that the highest earners should pay more tax stop taking money from people that are not well off."

Mark James, Stoke on Trent: "Companies should pay more tax and off-shore located people if they do business in the UK should pay no matter where their domicile is.

"The working people should pay less as they have always bore the brunt of taxation, more disposable income more money spent on ''luxuries''

Beatrice Benson, Shrewsbury: "I don't think it's fair for people who earn more to pay a larger percentage. The current tax policies still mean that more money is paid from wealthier individuals.

"Labour's policies would mean paying an extraordinary amount of tax, which the party don't seem to have specified, which is a coincidence."
