You ACTUALLY pay more than 66% in tax in the U.K
And if you earn more than average, you pay even more!โจโจHereโs the proof:
The average person in the UK earns ยฃ37,430โจ
The average household pays ยฃ31,623.50 in taxes (acc. to This is Money)
โจYou pay 37 different taxes on average โจ
The average no. of people working in a household is 1.3โจโจThis totals ยฃ48,659 income per average household โจ
I found 3 more taxes (EV, Congestion, IHT) making the total ave. tax burden ยฃ32,260ย
Which is 66% in tax for the AVERAGE household โจ(ยฃ32,260/ยฃ48,659)ย
Oh, and God forbid if you earn more, you pay EVER more
Now can you see why so many people want to leave?
@BainzyC Why is it incredible? Franks invaded England 1000 years ago, and their language became the language of the court. Then French also became the language of international diplomacy and High Culture.
C'est la vie, mon petit chou!
