UK income tax from 40 > 50% next month
Next month it will be in effect, anyone earning more then £150K will have to pay 50% income tax instead of the current 40%. Any UK guys ready to move abroad?
|
What percentage does Jagger pay?
. |
taxes in most countries will rise, rich and poor alike, when you tax the rich even if you remove the tax on poor altogether they still get hit hard.
|
Tax havens will be raising their prices for citizenship to cash in on all those wishing to leave their country of birth. St. Kitts is about $400k but $350k of that you could theoretically get back as you have to buy govt approved real estate with it.

GIMME SHELTER .... Stones style
The Stones pay just 1.6% tax on royalties (concerts ?) http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/tax/inc...&in_page_id=77 . |
Socialism blows.
|
How much does ABRAMOVICH pay ?
|
Holly shit! This is fucking daylight robbery! I would never agree to pay such a "tax?".
|
"The Rolling Stones have paid just 1.6% tax on their earnings of £242m over the past 20 years."

That's ridiculous, great short term solution but I'm suspecting it will back fire on them...

Gotta love socialism. You didn't think you'd be getting universal healthcare and education for free, did you?
|
Well, it is 50% on anything earned above 150k, not 50% on 150k :2 cents:
|
That blows.... :(
|
WOW thats huge
|
I'm British :) Its great there but much easier to live here in sunny Scottsdale. I have to spend a lot less to heat the pool.
Oh and that tax thing. Medical expenses balance it a bit though. |
Western Europe is fucked up, but if the people don't care and don't do shit about it, serves them right.
|
It's not the income tax that sucks - its the sales tax at 17.5% and likely to go up to 19-20% after the election in May.

It is Labour or the Conservatives winning...not Gordon or David unless they are your actual MP. If Labour wins Brown will be out at the first possible opportunity. Which makes it all the more important to vote for the party vs the leader. If he manages to lead the party to a squeaker of a win they will push him out. It will give them five years to try to find somebody else to stand again.

i didn't say the bailout was capitalistic, the british government, and other governments around the world, had no choice but to bail out the banking sector. it couldn't be allowed to collapse, that would have been financial armageddon. |

Free market is the word, not capitalism, in a real free market AIG and rest of the crooks on Wall St would have failed. While you want to call it "financial armageddon", I call it a market correction |

People blame "greedy wall street" and execs when really the government is to blame. The fact that a business man or company is after money is a constant, it's unchanging. When the government steps in to regulate, every regulation can then be used as a club by companies and businesses to push their own agenda and punish their competition. Our own government is what creates these issues and to correct their mistakes they pass more regulation and more regulation and more regulation... and then they start bailing bad business out. Nobody is too big to fall, it doesn't work like that, that's media hype and the government looking for an excuse to hide behind for gaining a larger foothold into regulating and controlling everything they can. This doesn't even touch on how they fuck with the market via interest rates, tax breaks, and minimum wage... |
At least you have free health care.
