@Jack_Cat_Daily@BillAckman@PalantirTech There is no practical difference BUT there is often listening done as a secondary task. That is inferior to full focus required for reading. If anything, full focus listening may be superior.
@Telegraph I fail to see why sugar should be exempt when alcohol and tobacco are not. They are all seriously bad for your health. The pearl clutching in this comment section is seriously depressing. What would you tax?
@JohnColeUK@Peston As I understood it, it is a legal agreement with your employer, the object being to reduce your higher rated salary with a benefit such as a car, or pension contribution. The appeal is the avoidance of the higher rate. You can still get conventional tax relief on contributions.
