@AuthorEvleon@afneil Some high earners (in the top several %) are caught by PAYE, senior NHS staff for example. Some reduce activity to avoid various thresholds and tapers. There only exploit is to stop working or change job/location.
@ABridgen How about a COBRA meeting over immigration, deportation, the judicial system, the armed forces status, the ยฃ3trillion debt, the rate of national overspending, the water and electricity infrastructure, power generation capacity and stability, you know important stuff.
@afneil I think that the tax base has been narrowed in part to hide or minimise the economic stagnation across recent years.
Potentially, we may now be at the limits of this approach. Hence the suggestions of confiscation of 'wealth' that has already been taxed but not yet realised.
@StevenEdginton Unfortunately you just missed some of my relatives, who experienced marked changes in their areas. Now all dead. Their children, grandchildren, etc. have all exited these original 'ancestral' locations.
