Exiled Girl Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Interestingly, those who get most income as dividends (e.g. contractors) will be stuffed, and have to find a more tax efficient way of paying themselves. And I'd imagine that this type of voter would be the sort that would be courted as a typical Tory. The mood at work is very anti-George, from the previous pro stance!

maaarsh Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 do we know why there is an upper limit? It matches in with higher rate tax so that the real shift is much less stark. You still (now) pay 2% over the threshold. If there was no upper limit we'd have an income tax rate for most professional jobs of over 50%.

If there was no upper limit we'd have an income tax rate for most professional jobs of over 50%. The Upper Earnings Level defines earnings which count towards Additional State Pension. So the rate above that level is a"nominal" 2%. Of course once the Additional State Pension ceases to accrue (next year) the logic of that disappears.

maaarsh Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Not sure how you mean nominal - I pay it, which is far more relevant than the fake hypothecation for benefits which probably won't exist when my turn comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted July 10, 2015 Members Share Posted July 10, 2015 At least UK State Pensions to Australia remain frozen. Tra-la-la, life's good, superannuation down here means the UK pension I paid into will only be a few fragments of the crumbled flake on top of the cream. That's when I decide to claim it that is. You may not be aware that lump sum cash settlements are available to us should we choose that path. Might just git me my Plymouth Roadrunner.

Members bolty58 Posted July 10, 2015 Members Share Posted July 10, 2015 And in fiscal news down under, Eddie, of Eddie's Towing and MOT, and Chancellor of Australia has announced a 4 cent rise on stubbies, a cut in the weekly dole-bludger money of $12, another increase of 10% tax per kilo of snags, but he's announced an end to duty on driving into the outback with your kids, setting the car on fire and shooting yourself in the head. ...and here, children, is a prime example of the type of mental ailment which can result from using crystal meth.............................

Youri McAnespie Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Keep watching and being informed by american television fiction, Bolty, 'crystal meth' is rare as hen teeth in the UK...There's a dearth of 'bikies' to pedal it, too - even if there was any knocking about the black market.

Gonk Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 We also will be £1487.20 worse off. Just have to get on with it. I've never had 30 quid a week off the state, but I've put over £100 in a week for over 30 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted July 10, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 10, 2015 All these calculations need to factor in the BBC tax, which they don't appear to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted July 10, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yep, they've pulled a fucking massive one over us all with that, inflation linked rises and the continued criminalisation of non-payment. It's an astronomical amount of money that we give them, £145 is two months council tax payments, yet instead of running a town then run some shit TV channels and a load of middle to upper class radio stations.

I'll give you a clue. In the last year I paid over 40k and one year over 70k. Edited July 10, 2015 by bgoefc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic legs Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 The BBC and its output for less than the cost of a pint a week is superb value. How much does Sky cost again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 SKY, for all it's faults, is optional. The BBC make some excellent programming, and they also pay talentless cunts through the nose to produce drivel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
