what would you do if tax went up.

[mattheman]

what would you do if the base rate of tax went from 22% to 27% of your earnings and NI went to 12%?

 

[Jambo]

Pay the new rate.

What would you do?

 

[Skull]

Explode?

 

[Morba]

what a pointless question tbh.

you or someone else has asked it before (quite recently iirc), it wouldnt make that much difference to many people. if it does then they were already in trouble.

 

[<(Multi)>]

Give myself a pay rise probably, increase my rates to my customer.

I get 25p tax free a mile off the tax man. I'd drive a lot further too...

Research harder into moving to Suisse/abroad somewhere.

its a question everyone needs to start to think about.

 

[Kennysevenfold]

Pay the new rate.

lol

why is it?
have you calculated just how much this would mean to people?

Nothing, as I live in the UK, where the basic rate is 20%.

 

[RickST]

I would have no choice but to pay the new rate... like most people

 

[asim18]

I'd slit my wrists. What's the best way to do it, just in case?

 

[Destination]

The base rate is 20%.

Going up to 27% would make a fair difference to a lot of folks, but no odds to the scounging spongers who cost us the tax in the first place.

 

[mattheman]

Pay the new rate.

What would you do?

pay 40% of your wage to the government, ontop of other new taxes to be introduce, possible vat of 20% vat on energy going up to 7.5%.

 

[mattheman]

Nothing, as I live in the UK, where the basic rate is 20%.

but you lost out on the 10% that we used to have.

zzz another scare mongering thread. tax on all of that is not about to just to the prices which you are talking.

 

[randal]

Answering this question seriously, as I believe some *sort* of tax rise is inevitable in the UK in the not-too-distant - I'd probably finally get my behindus in gear and emigrate to NZ.

yes it is , the government needs more of your money, which means cutting public spending and increasing taxes.
