  "In December 2009, the UK government announced in its pre-budget report its intention, during the first five months of 2010, to tax bonuses paid in this way by 50%. "
  From Wikipedia.
  
  Also:
  " 'Staff in banks who appropriate revenue in ludicrous bonuses which should otherwise go to strengthen the banks' capacity to resist write-offs, panics and bank-runs are in effect stealing from their customers, shareholders and the government,' commented Will Hutton, executive vice-chair of The Work Foundation (formerly the Industrial Society), in The Guardian."
  
  Stealing from their customers and shareholders is the correct term, as Will Hutton wrote.
  
  And as we can see, the bankers go 50-50 with the State Treasury (50% tax on bonanza bonuses).
