It's the same with Council Tax, that's taken from your after tax income.

VAT is paid from after tax income as well but that is just how it is. No point in getting worked up about these things.

I suppose everything could be rolled up and taken off as IT but I imagine that would start to feel a bit like life behind the iron curtain

I did not realise that Thatcher was the root cause of encouraging borrowing, how so?

Maybe it's best to keep on working for a few more years.....just to put a few more in the bank in case the bastards change the rules.
