nightwolf Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Haha! My mates a being a bit shit lately, I get everyone is busy, but it's a bit of a kick in the face that they will go out, but they only do with their other halves. Lovely.
Magnus Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 All this talk about pregnancy scares and defecating in front of people is exactly the reason why I'm not having sex. Yes. That's the reason. Just worked out how much tax I have to pay... Man, if you consider that a bad thing, just think of how bad you'll feel after you've actually paid your taxes!

Man, if you consider that a bad thing, just think of how bad you'll feel after you've actually paid your taxes! You have NO idea. I'm leaving it til last minute so I can get as much interest off of this as I can
Will Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 You shouldn't be that sad, if you've got a big tax bill then it means you've been earning a lot of money doesn't it? Can't be super bad?
Serebii Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Yeah but it means that I don't get a significant chunk of what I rightfully earned. I'm not happy about higher bands existing. Why should people be penalised for being successful? There should be one tax band, lets say 25% of everything over £7,000 and be done with it. They'd still get more money from the more well-off people.
ReZourceman Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Why should people be penalised for being successful? Because.....thats better. I mean, they're not getting penalised, they're still making more money. And if you're making enough money to be in the higher brackets then you are filthily well off.
Raining_again Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 something like that would cripple the government, people in the supertax bracket earn more than enough to survive..
ReZourceman Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 something like that would cripple the government, people in the supertax bracket earn more than enough to survive.. We don't all have an endless supply of Meowths like you Serebii. :p
Serebii Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I miss communism ;; Seriously though, I know I'm really not in a position to complain, but it's still ridiculous
Charlie Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Yeah but it means that I don't get a significant chunk of what I rightfully earned. I'm not happy about higher bands existing. Why should people be penalised for being successful? There should be one tax band, lets say 25% of everything over £7,000 and be done with it. They'd still get more money from the more well-off people. Because that would cripple people who don't earn that much and those who earn plenty would be flying high. You've got to think of everyone. If you aren't happy with the tax system in our country you're more than welcome to move to another. If you are paying a large tax bill whilst self-employed then you should be expecting it and be planning for it ahead of time.
Serebii Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I've had a good year...I'm just not used to it so please let me vent :p

Raining_again Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I've had a good year...I'm just not used to it so please let me vent :p I totally agree that it sucks, but its a neccesary evil. I crai every month when I see over £300 going out... it is the worst for the people that are JUST into the supertax bracket... my dad has paid £1000 tax in a month on many occasions, and he's not hugely rich
Serebii Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I see we disagree on economic politics. I just wish the system was fairer. I know that these high tax bands are necessary but they're evil :p
Ellmeister Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I just wish the system was fairer. I know that these high tax bands are necessary but they're evil :p You must have made a LOT of money to be complaining about having such an unfair tax amount. Invest in property instead, it's a lower rate of tax if you're that bothered
Serebii Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 You must have made a LOT of money to be complaining about having such an unfair tax amount. Invest in property instead, it's a lower rate of tax if you're that bothered Don't have enough to invest in property lol
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I just wish the system was fairer. I know that these high tax bands are necessary but they're evil :p While I know the pain of seeing a great deal of the money I've earned disappear (I live in Denmark, for fuck's sake, we have some of the highest taxes in the world! :p), I've never felt that it's unfair because I know it all goes to the common good. Of course, I don't know the specific rules where you are, so I can't say if I find them to be optimally fair, but such things will always be a matter of personal opinion.
Serebii Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Well here, the 40% tax band is at a very low level. This is what I don't approve of. If it was at say £80,000 then fine, but at £35,000 (having been lowered from £37,500), no.

I crai every month when I see over £300 going out... it is the worst for the people that are JUST into the supertax bracket... my dad has paid £1000 tax in a month on many occasions, and he's not hugely rich Erm... no it's not. If you are paying a large tax bill whilst self-employed then you should be expecting it and be planning for it ahead of time. Also self-employed people pay less tax than employed people anyway. Stop complaining Serebii you miserable git. You're essentially moaning about being well off. There are plenty of people who would love to pay as much tax as you do.

Was waiting for that post :p I promised myself I'd shut up when it came to that
Raining_again Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Erm... no it's not. It is, thinking that if you meet the min requirement to pay supertax, you could drop a few hours work and actually earn less, you end up making more money after tax.. so by JUST falling into the bracket you are the worst done.

A common misconception. You only pay 40% on the income in that bracket. So if you earn 40k you only pay 40% on 5k.
