@Newspace14 What do you think happens to those profits?

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

Increase taxes and you reduce supply at a given price

Because they’re not going to go to the effort of supplying without a profit

So prices have to rise

Doesn’t matter whether it’s input costs, labour costs, tax costs, any increase in costs will push up prices

[Dr. Jeevun Sandher MP @JeevunSandher]

Nope, that’s not how taxes and price works. The price is determined by demand and supply.

Companies charge the highest price they can given demand. A tax levied on *profits* does not affect a company’s cost ie supply.

Taxes on *windfall* profits (like oil and gas) are the most efficient kind of tax there is.

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@ObliviousReaper Exactly. I remember learning about supply and demand curves in term one of an economics AS level. This should be basic stuff for an MP charged with making decisions on this stuff

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@lanthiertax 100%? No I don’t think that

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@CaltonWMTom That looks ideal. Done a few 50km this year and I’ve got my first 50 mile in the Lake District next summer called the Lakeland50

And I’ve got a UTMB 50k in Cornwall in January as part of my training

Ask me after them whether I want to do it again in Scotland!

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

I’m ranked 704,999 in the world for ultra marathons

Take that my old PE teacher

@percyridesagain Sorry but what loss of future are they suffering from us all having the same stat pension age now?

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

You do

But most people on £99k don’t get to £500k

If you are you suck it up and get through it

Just like people on £60k have to accept they’ll lose child benefit on the way to £100k

But it’s those who are already near their maximum or already working too many hours or don’t have enough years ahead of them who may decide to just stop at £99k and get some time back instead

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@percyridesagain @daverain Who are the 50% suffering a ‘loss of future’ ?

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@CaltonWMTom I’ve never ran on Scottish hills. Maybe be in 2028!

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@ExecSuperHead I went to check and I’ve lost over 100 places 🤣

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@estrellasadie @WasOnceLoved What extra layers would you like to see?

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@WasOnceLoved @Collectors_Way @taviraterry A lot

[David Price @Davidpr52119342]

@Collectors_Way @dontdelay Yes… it’s a well known feature of the tax cliff edge..

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@WasOnceLoved @Collectors_Way @taviraterry There’s no ‘poor me’ about it

There’s the simple reality that many people will stop work rather than pay 60% tax

That’s their choice

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@Collectors_Way @taviraterry @WasOnceLoved Reality

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@WasOnceLoved Focus?

You quote posted me

I’m just responding

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@Collectors_Way @stone3Clare Im talking about people earning, or able to earn £100k +

There’s over 2,000,000 of them vs about 160 billionaires

Really no correlation at all

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@WasOnceLoved @Shinobiisback @Collectors_Way Whining about what?

I want people to earn more and pay more tax

So what am I whining about?

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@Shinobiisback @WasOnceLoved @Collectors_Way It’s not a theory

I do it everyday at work

The higher the tax rates the more the scales tip the more people reach the point they decide working is not worth it anymore, or maybe just not working as much

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@stone3Clare @Collectors_Way I get blocked for the most odd reasons

[David Hearne, CFP™ @dontdelay]

@stone3Clare @Collectors_Way Not paying as much as they would have

They’ve built bigger pensions than they would have and so they can then afford to retire earlier

I help people do this every day
