Over £40k you give more to the government than you earn for yourself !! over £80k that's grows 58% of what you earn and over 123k that's 63% - and no personal allowance - that's fair!!
It's surely fair that people that can afford to contribute more, do so ?
Also, everyone gets their first £11.5k tax free, although you would have to deduct your taxable benefits (company car, health insurance etc) and then you end up with the dreaded "k" code.
I know that the Tory ethos is to "keep what you earn". However, too many have been doing just that (and big business too) even my business paid more corporation tax than Starbucks and their ilk and that certainly isn't right.???
