I pay the higher tax rate, I’m happy to, I consider that it’s my social obligation. For years when I didn’t earn as much I always said the rich should pay more tax, so it would now be hypocritical of me to try and avoid paying it as I’ve had my money’s worth out of the nhs alone.
As Edukator points out, the poor pay a higher proportion of their income in taxes than the better off, I can still live very nicely thank you and pay, so why the hell should I get out of paying tax by judicious use of an accountant?, so I don’t bother…… which family and friends consider to be a bit daft to be fair.
I’ve forgotten what my original point was now and where i was going with it dammit……..
