I would not dare use the term 'normal' (-:

Most low paid people will pay more tax, while highly paid people will pay less.
More tax will be paid in NI also.

So, 'tax rise' seems a fair comment.

Eh? From 2008, 50K+ earners will save £150 per month in income tax. Poor
old £20K per annum will save £7 per month.
It's New Labour, rob the poor to pay the rich!
Dave

And persons earning less than 14k, of which there are a very large number,
will pay more. Some persons on low, fixed incomes, will pay a great deal
more.

They are indeed robbing the poor to pay the rich, hence 'tax rise'.

Apologies Gianna, I thought you were being ironic. We agree! I should never
assume you would follow a media bandwagon. ;-)

LOL
Next thing, I will become agreeable (gulp).

The weather was better here today. Only 6°C but at least there was no more of
that horrible wintry stuff.
I shall begin restoring my bicycle tomorrow (it has been in store in a damp
garage). And soon ... the open road (and no taxes!).

Tsk, tsk. None of that happened, nor did anything remotely like it.

You've spoken to my friends? That's what they were telling me on the

They were incorrect and I merely informed you of that.

I'm sure that Dave was already well aware of that. Judging by your
response to his original post, I think that your sarcasm detector must
be broken.

I have not spoken to them, not least because I am speechless after the
increase in income tax.



At least it hasn't impaired your ability to communicate via the written
word.

Small mercies (sigh).

I blame the [insert option here].

I have to be nice to you - you have got a dictionary that may prove useful (-:

I've no idea why I inserted "normal" - I hereby withdraw it and stand

Yes the overall tax burden will increase but you said "increase in
income tax" and for 'most' people, it will be (in 2008!) essentially
income tax neutral.

He's a crafty one, is that Scottish fella!
