to think that 6000 per month is excessive for the government to take off my pay for tax?

[tootaxed]

Surely there should be a maximum limit that each person has to pay as tax? Six grand per month in tax is just excessive imo. And that is before NI contributions etc. If the government set a maximum tax limit they would take more care over how they spent their central funds. And I wouldn't have to work so many hours away from my DCs only to have 72 bloody grand a year taken off my income to fund their mis-spending.

chortle...

gosh you must earn a lot.

Why the Hmmm face FAQ?

Oh, it is awful, isn't it? And I bet those diamonds on the soles of your shoes really dig in? And your wallet's too small for your wad? LOL!

so is this the former mrs macca?

Surely if you worked less, you would earn less, pay less tax...

It must be a terrible hardship for you, losing 1/4 of the Flame household annual family income a month

how much do you earn to take home that much

Bloody hell.

It does sound a lot Xenia.

wind up.

Yeah, just take the piss chicky. But you try working 100+ hours a week often away from home and never seeing your DCs as a result. Then seeing how much gets taken out of your pay is like a smack in the face.

I know, its so crap isn't it??

(this will kick off, just so you know)

yawn

oh dear - wind up or staggeringly tactless??

snurk

I promise you it is not a wind up. Just had a hellish week at work and opened my payslip and cried.

No I don't think that is an unreasonable amount to tax you.

surely you can't expect me to be upset that you"re being taxed 72K a year if your earning about 300K. Surely!

Why are you being such a bitch Chicky?

try looking at the amount that you are getting paid.......I should imagine it's still a very tidy sum

You could get a job that earns less and spend more time with your dcs if it bothers you that much.

As flamesparrow says for a lot of people the amount you are deducted monthly in tax would make up a substantial amount of a lot of families annual income.

You won't get much sympathy from people as a result.

Work less, earn less, see children more....

But I'm not earning anywhere near that amount Ingles.

I agree, and while we are on the subject, I think if you earn over £500,000 you shouldn't have to pay tax. Leave it to the poor working classes to pay the tax - deffo.
