Increase PA / NI threshold to £15k, BR/HR threshold to £75k, link these to inflation like state pensions are.
Increase VAT registration threshold to £100k and link to inflation.
Match HICB threshold with BR/HR threshold
Remove the PA taper for >£100k income
Restore £10k 0% dividend threshold
Increase the CT marginal rate lower threshold to £250k
Professionals who have their lives in order trying to demonstrate some sort of prowess by taking on an imaginary struggle with alcohol. Be who you're going to be, but let's not hold it up as some sort of virtue... it's virtue signalling.
Unless you genuinely do have a problem with alcohol, in which case AWeb would not be my first port of call.
Dry January means dry martinis and crisp, dry white burgundies.
I would advise that Sally & Harry engage a tax adviser who can offer advice under the protection of an engagement letter and Professional Indemnity Insurance rather than anyone risk a professional negligence claim for offering financial advice without that protection.
This. The downfalls of such a project are limited only by our imagination. How soon before any of these become a regular feature?: Negative interest rates ("we use all interest recouped to fund green projects and net zero"), expiry dates ("spend by month-end to save the country!"), localisation ("your CDBC tokens are only redeemable within your 15-minute city zone - stimulate your local economy!") and linked to your social credit score ("sorry sir, your card payment at the butchers has been declined as your holiday flights last year have been reclassified as a 10X carbon sin and so your credit score is now in the red. May we direct you to the bug-foods counter?")
