I fall into the “60%” tax bracket. With the upcoming elections and knowing the government always hammer the middle ground….woudlnt it make more sense for me to cut my hours for a more relaxed life, eligibility for childcare, reduced tax?

Because it probably wouldn’t go down well with my employer. But now looking long term and seeing opportunities for private school etc reducing it doesn’t seem worth it

Why haven't you already reduced hours? I would if I was in that marginal band.

I very much hope that Labour will look at removing some of the silly marginal rates (that the blue lot introduced, remember) because they are a drag on productivity with unintended consequences such as people reducing hours.
