      Enjoy the 50% tax rate, plus the same again for NI contributions.

      It is good to see ism alive and well.

          Have a read of this, especially all you happy clappy Liberal and Labour voters, and think about what those tax changes would actually do to ordinary working people like you and your family.

          What the general election could mean for your finances | Money | The Times

          Inheritance and gifts taxed as income, so that would mean 50% tax on everything you pass on to you kids. Pension tax relief limited to 25% so pensions go nowhere. The list is endless, tax, tax, tax, borrow, borrow, borrow.

          Bankrupted country in under 5 years.

          Enjoy morons!

            Why are you so opposed to tax? Somebody has to pay for public services, you can’t have it both ways of complaining about the state of public services but not willing to pay for them.

            Compared to a huge proportion of the country you’re in a relatively privileged position of being eligible to pay tax.

            Or you could stick with the “strong and stable” Tories, sucking more wealth out of the hands of those ordinary working people that just kicks the extra tax can down the road for a future government to have to deal with anyway.

              No-one objects to paying tax.

              It is the super rich and large corporates using schemes which are not available to the masses that are the issue.

              Of course that will get worse as the UK is about to become the world's biggest tax haven.

                Of course that will get worse as the UK is about to become the world's biggest tax haven under the Tories, with the rich getting richer and paying less tax for the privilege, while the poor get poorer and bear the burden.
                FTFY.

                    I'm not a UK tax payer, so am free to vote in the UK's national interest, without worrying about my own pocket.

                      and the rest - I've been saying this for years. If Labour win, then don't expect even half of an inheritance windfall. You'll end up with practically nothing.

                      If, no not if _when_, Labour introduce a "super tax" of 90% or more, as it was in the 1970s, and they treat inheritance as income, then anyone inheriting a sizeable share of their aged P's estate would easily fall into that tax bracket for the year and thus have essentially the whole lot pinched in tax.

                      But on the plus side, this, along with their liberal policy on immigration, is one of Labour's massive hobbling Achilles heels, because millions of people are looking forward to a nice inheritance nest egg. So Bojo & co should be harping on about it at every opportunity.
