    It's a very hard question to answer. Leaving aside income tax, which many (especially the low paid and those on benefits rightly don't pay, there are other taxes based on what you spend and where you live.

    If most people added up the total of what they pay in NICs, VAT, council tax, fuel duty and road tax if they have a car, APD when they fly, IPT on their insurances, business rates and employer NICs if they own a business, alcohol and tobacco duties if they partake, it would dwarf their income tax bill. So whether a person pays income tax or not is pretty irrelevant when calculating the amount of his contribution to the exchequer.
