Probably unworkable in terms of something you could legislate for but it would be a better state of affairs if you could some how make it so I reckon. Too many 'career politicians'.

JJ 0 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Raise the 45p tax rate back up to 50p and reintroduce the 10p tax rate, while pushing the tax thresholds up a bit so as not to stop people having the opportunity to earn more, but being hampered too easily by going up a tax bracket and essentially getting hardly anything for it. Reform how corporation tax is collected, to essentially close all the loopholes. Sometimes a law needs ripped up and started again. It's predicted that the reduction in the 50p tax rate along with the corporate tax loopholes costs the UK about £110 billion a year. Obviously it'll be a little less with the extension of when income tax will begin to be paid and my proposal to raise the thresholds a little, but both measures would make massive inroads into the deficit and help stop this ideological attack on the poor for the crimes of the rich under the banner of "Austerity."

ewerk 26316 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The 50p tax rate raised £100m a year, it's not an issue in the grand scheme of things. And the personal allowance (and subsequently tax bands) has been rising steadily under the current government. How much do you think people should earn before paying tax?

Apple, Google and Facebook are among the companies that could be significantly impacted by the change. Ireland’s finance minister, Michael Noonan, told the country’s parliament on Tuesday that he would phase out the so-called double Irish tax break. The practice has allowed companies to establish secondary subsidiaries in Ireland that effectively pay no corporate taxes. “I am abolishing the ability of companies to use the ‘double Irish’ by changing our residency rules to require all companies registered in Ireland to also be tax-resident,” Noonan said.

Bonuses were paid in advance to avoid it and then delayed when the tories won knowing it would be reduced. A continual 50% band with no get outs would be worth 5bn a year.

scoobos 297 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) My quick answer to the thread topic. REMEMBER YOU WORK FOR THE POPULACE and not the other way around you fucking crooks. Having lived in many different cultures and countries now, it's not fucking acceptable for england to pay such high taxation just to let you fuckers bolster GDP at the cost of the general populace's standard of living. Oh and Ewark, who the hell pays the 50p tax rate anyway? It's all dodged and corporation tax has been lowered year on year. Oh and don't get me started on HMRC and their fucking dinner deals with the multinationals. It's robbery. At least labour spent money on public services, even if it was more money than they had. Inflation has also been rising steadily and the personal allowance has NEVER been tied to inflation, which it bloody should be. Last point on a gvt. scam for the rich , increasing V.A.T to 20% and not increasing the flat rate schemes, so businesses charge 20% but only pass on 14.5 (at best) to HMRC.

ewerk 26316 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 1. Not too many people pay the 50p tax rate since it has been scrapped. 2. The rate of inflation is at its lowest in five years and has been steadily falling, not rising 3. It's just as well the personal allowance isn't linked to inflation. It has increased from £6.750 to £10,500 (next year) under the current government (though it's the Lib Dems who deserve the thanks). If it were linked to inflation then the personal allowance would be £7.895. 4. The effect of the VAT change on the flat rate scheme would be minuscule. Do us all a favour and put a bit of thought into what you type in future. There's a good lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mincepie 0 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Send everybody home who has came here without a job in the last 5 years, that should free.up a bit of money and houses.... To lower the retirement age back to what it was rather than force people to work longer which frees up jobs fir the younger people. Ban the burka and Islamic schools. And bring back cheaper dental care. Give NHS workers a pay rise . Cancel the pay rise to MP's. That will do for starters.

mincepie 0 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Increasing job opportunities for more young people to go into work which in turn raises the standards and motivations needed for university entry. Forcing teachers to adopt a more authoritive persona starting with higher dress and behaviour standards to set a better example to kids. Tougher prison sentences. Life to mean life.

The Fish 8989 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 What was the point of raising the retirement age particularly for women resulting in less jobs for the young generationI don't believe raising the retirement age was the deciding factor in the reduction of jobs for young people. I think raising the retirement age is a ham fisted attempt to deal with the shortfall in pensions. Now, are you going to answer my question?
