People are no doubt expecting the same services, education NHS, police etc, etc but refuse to pay the same as others and you think this is OK.
Along the same line of thought does that mean that those earning under their taxable allowance should get less services as they're paying nothing back in?
Should those in the 40% bracket get better service because they're paying more in?
Ehh ?, correct me if I'm wrong... but how do you volunteer to pay more tax than you are legally obliged to ? (ok I could enter more profits into self assessment than I have made)
I don't know of a SINGLE person who makes that choice, 'im going to run my company this way to pay more tax'
You are living in a dream world
Not everyone pays the same tax, it depends on how you are employed, how you have setup your own business, what you sell, where you sell etc etc etc
There is no level playing field, and they cannot be compared.
It is ok
We're talking here about people who are paying all the tax that they are obliged to pay.

And everyone in this thread appears to be doing just that
Strangely not one person has said 'I work cash in hand' and evade tax, or I don't submit anything to HMRC
Whole thread is pointless tbh

Obviously not the same amount, the same percentage.
My point, which should have been obvious, is about people bending tax rules to pay less them moaning about the state of services, yet seeing their actions as not bearing on the problem.
Even though they may be paying more towards those services than many others?
I'm not sure the point you're making. You're suggesting they should pay more tax than they are obliged to?
It's not usual for someone going from staff/PAYE to contractor/ltd company for a similar role to actually pay more tax overall even though the % of tax paid on gross income is less.
Ultimately money is absolute, not relative.
The same % ?, so a higher PAYE earner should be taxed at the same rate as a low pay earner ?

The same rate of tax. We have a system set up by the rich for the rich(as it is in most countries)

No I am talking about people paying tax at 10% or less but expecting the same services.
But 10% of 100k is still a lot more than 0% of 10k yet those people earning 10k get the same services as those earning 100k.
Yes but the company they own is paying corp tax, and more often than not paying VAT and employing PAYEers
You cannot be seriously suggesting public services be tiered on % contribution... it's insane
well would save a lot of money
, anyone earning under is it 30k? wouldn't cover their own bill.So you're a blood sucking tax avoiding mofo like those companies you just posted?
So after 5 pages who is winning?
Is it the PAYE bin divers or Contractors "we bill big" boys and girls?
Do we know who pays the most tax?
Do we know who has the best hourly rate, who bills '6 figures' and therefore thinks they are wealthy?
Do we know if the OP has had a visit from the HMRC audit team?
