marvelous

if the CofE wants to do something that would really impress us he would either shut Longbenton or put the whole 64-8 process on line and automate it - it seems to be geting worse again almost impossible but they seem to have achieved it

why confuse your acronyms?isnt this a budget debate rather than one about the church of England? or his there something coterminus/coincendental between the resignation of the DG of the BBC and CofE and this budgets chancellor?

Exactitude

Acronyms are pronouncable as words, eg Nasa, Laser.

BBC and CoE are not acronyms !

just listening to 5live.....

only a politician could say that reducing a tax rate will increase the tax take.....well him a gaggle of economists.  Unfortunately the tax rate is not a consumable item where supply and demand decide the market price....crazy.

 

Mind you the suggestion is that it hasn't collected that much tax...due to good tax planning etc....thats odd why drop the rate then if it hasn't had any impact.....??!?! i am confused.

When your talking about salaries

over £150k, the norm is to decide what employee should take home then gross up so the less the tax rate the less the tax take. shimples

Not really sure how that

equates to a tax increase?!?!  if you have a net salary of £150k, then surely you will pay more tax at 50p rate than 45p rate if grossed up???

my point being that the politicians seem to believe that by

reducing the tax rate the opposite will happen...that is the tax take will increase...!?

It would

if you applied it to fuel. Of course, that's what they really meant, 5p off a litre of fuel.
