bridge too far Posted 22 April, 2009 Share Posted 22 April, 2009 Is that despite qualifying for the 50p in the £ tax band ? I wish! I don't know how they've worked it out TBH. I can see I'll pay more for ciggies but I rarely drink so that's not going to cost me any more. And I won't be paying so much in tax apparently :smt102 I'd be quite happy to pay a bit more tax actually and I wish they'd ensured that those earning less paid less tax or no tax at all.

Johnny Bognor Posted 22 April, 2009 Share Posted 22 April, 2009 (edited) None of us are better off. With hundreds of billions of pounds in borrowing, we are pushed thousands of ££££s into debt which we will have to collectively pay back for the next decade. ....and this is based on the over optimistic forecast that we will come out of recession early next year. If we dont (and the IMF amoungst others don't think we will) the the numbers will be far worse. So it is not so much tax and waste like previous budgets (instead of save for a rainy day), but more a case of tax and borrow, screw everybody (by hoodwinking them with forecasts that are out of step with everybody else) in a desperate attempt to win some votes at the next election.

John Boy Saint Posted 22 April, 2009 Share Posted 22 April, 2009 Stunned at £410 better off I swear they got that wrong, thankfully the magic car doesn't have a nasty sting this year thanks to the CO2 emissions being below 160gms and not getting hit with the £300 additional company car tax they sneaked through at last years budget.

SNSUN Posted 23 April, 2009 Share Posted 23 April, 2009 I'm up about £60, not including my savings account. That said, I didn't include random binge drinking evenings, nor the fact that I'm determined to quit smoking in the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Labour! Socialism Rocks! Spot on. No one is better off. The state of the nation's finances have never, ever been as bad as they are now. We are royally screwed. Not that the trough-feeders in the Labour party care. And then Brown wants to pay all those lousy waste of space MPs just to turn up to their job. On top of their salary. Being an MP is the most cushy job going. Once you are elected you are guaranteed a lavish salary and pensions until the next election and never have to worry about a thing. A-holes the lot of them.

Red Alert Posted 24 April, 2009 Share Posted 24 April, 2009 Working Family tax credits :smt102 I googled it, I am 24 and this thing assumes I will turn 25 and earn so little I can claim Tax credits. Which is not until January and so it makes little difference really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
