It’s always talked about in the media as if everyone cares, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a normal person complain.

    In the UK there is a crazy band between £100k and £125k where for each two pounds above £100k you lose one pound from your personal allowance (personal allowance is £12.5k).

    The effective tax rate for this is 60% then it carries on at the regular 40%

    Always has struck me as odd.

    Never paid this rate myself because I don’t get paid enough. Apparently it disincentives doctors from doing overtime.

      I recruit some people into this band. It always amazes me how much people care about whether they are paid £100k or £110k. The difference is about than £72 a week when they’re already getting paid over £1,300 a week (after tax).

      Ego.
