• UK : Increase top tax rate

    From Rich80105@3:770/3 to All on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 10:47:20

    In a survey, restoring the income tax rate for those earning more than
    150,000 a year from 45p to 50p has the support of 77 per cent of the
    public, including 76 per cent of Conservative respondents.

    Increased rates of corporation tax on the profits of firms from the
    current rate of 20 per cent to 25 per cent are also supported by 60
    per cent of those surveyed. Just 26 per cent disagreed while 16 per
    cent registered dont know.

    Despite this, from 2020, Britain will have one of the lowest rates of corporation taxes in the G20 as the Government intends to cut the tax
    rate to 17 per cent.

    But voters are far less keen on taxes on expenditure outside income.
    Around 74 per cent of voters are opposed to increasing duty on diesel
    and petrol while increasing the main rate of VAT by one per cent is
    also opposed by 73 per cent.

    how does raising the tax rate from 45p to 50p inconvenience the wealthy.
    I'd have thought they'd be paying a lot more than the equivalent of 79
    cents NZ in tax now.

    I suspect that much of any increase in tax would have to go in debt
    repayments, so its Dave (those not facing an increase in tax)
    supporting asking Peter (those earning more than 150,000) to pay more
    so that the government can pay off burgeoning debt that is starting to
    affect all sorts of services. They are a little closer to seeing the
    example of Spain . . .

    Yet you're still to thick to comprehend that much of the debt was
    inherited from Labour Rich. So typical of the useless biased marxist
    muppet you continue to show yourself to be.

    What civil war? The problem I can see is Rich is like so many marxist
    muppets to busy spreading shit and believing his glorious but
    discredited Labour party to notice the real problems within our system.
