Top 50p tax rate damages UK, say economists
badgerx16 replied to Johnny Bognor's topic in The Lounge
If you earn £200K pa, you will pay 50% tax on your earnings in excess of £150K, = £25K. If you paid tax @ 45% you would save £5K pa, hardly going to dig the country out of recession when you 're-invest' it in the UK, which of course you would. If the 50% rate were abolished you would save £10K; a nice upgrade for your German luxury sedan, or an extra couple of weeks on your Caribbean hideaway. -
Why MS Office, why not Open Office ? Not too much of a learning curve, compatible with Micro$oft software, and free. Look for a system with a dedicated graphics card, with at least 512Mb RAM; the ones with integrated video chips don't have enough performance for gaming, and you can end up with FM failing to display the stadia & crowds.

To 'positively' discriminate in favour of one individual or group, you must implicitly 'negatively' discriminate against another.

Wife is a born & bred Citeh fan, who longs for the days of Colin Bell et al. Eldest son used to be a full on Arsenal fan, but now claims he's ALWAYS supported Blackpool. Youngest son supports Villa, ( don't ask why ), and daughter supports Bolton, who are her local team.

In the car it's R4 ( or R5Live if there's sport on ), at home on the DAB it's either R4Extra or Kerrang.

You may need to do the CBT : http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers/RidingMotorcyclesAndMopeds/DG_4022430 Scooters are classed as mopeds, so it depends on whether you have a full car licence, and for how long you have held it.

According to the right-wing media. There is similarly no evidence that cutting the top rate of tax does anything to stimulate it. These people do not need any more loose change, they will simply move their surplus offshore.

My laptop dual boots Win7 and LINUX Mint ( based on UBUNTU ). Windows has the advantage of running the Total War series and Football Manager, LINUX is more 'fun' for a techie to play with, and is less vulnerable when shopping or banking online. As you will have seen, modern LINUX distros give you a full GUI and most tasks avoid the command line, so you already have most of the skills required to use it. On both O/Ss I use FireFox and Open Office,- don't give Micro$oft any more money than necessary.

So what you are saying is that those in the 50p band have been so successful at avoiding paying their dues that Georgie Porgy will decide it's no longer worth the effort for HMRC to collect it ? There is no evidence that carrying out this cut would stimulate the economy. If you cut 1p off the base rate of income tax, and that is spent on VATable goods, then you automatically get 20% back. You also stimulate the turnover in shops and for small businesses, thereby improving the chance that these small businesses will expand their workforce, generating the growth that is currently only detectable with a very strong magnifying glass
-
No, you are wrong, you help the small businesses by making more money available to their customers. They can't generate new jobs unless they are able to sell their wares. Also, if you want more start ups, you need investment via the banks, not letting the 50% tax band off of some of their liability, ( which they are probably under committing anyway, due to their employing clever accountants ). ( I've also corrected your spelling for you ;-) )
-
Could you guarantee that any monies spent would go to boosting the UK economy, and not be spent on German super cars, extended foreign holidays, and Spanish property deals ? Any cuts in taxation for higher rate tax payers should be directly linked to investment funds, not simply acheived by lopping 5p in the £ off income tax. You would make far more of an impression by adjusting the lower end tax bands, putting more money in EVERYBODY's pockets, and where it is far more likely that it will be spent within the UK.

My favourite EDL interview : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUfZ2Di4EYk Get to just over 1:20 where the bloke on the left says "We have no problems with mosques being built over here, so long as we can build mosques in Mecca......I would love to see a mosque being built in Mecca". LOL !
