I earn 1k a month, and 150 of that is eaten by tax and social security immediately. AIBU to be mad at this?

Yea yeah it is a lot to you. but y'know that's because you don't earn a lot. The richer should be paying more. hold on, that feels like a slogan, mm, I know, tax the rich that's kinda catchy!

Sorry for being flippant I will, I am sure regret this comment in the morning!

YAstillBU taxes are good. They soften the blow. the fact that the richest 5% in this cuntry are disgustingly rich should suggest the problem lies with the distribution of welath not with taxes.

That really isn't a great deal of tax for the benefits you reap from it.

YABU sorry.

an ir tax retrun will always take into accouynt tax paid

so you pay tax on your income where ever it comes from so if you are paye then yopur return will confirm your pay plus add any other sources like self employed income let p[roperty savings etc
