-"HMRC Report showing the damage..." All about the 10% as opposed to the 3-5% elsewhere, it is now 5% anyway.
-"UK high earners have one of the ..." "Out of 26 countries analysed, the UK has the 9th highest tax burden on those earning $200,000 (roughly £125,000) and $250,000 (£160,000) per year, and the 6th highest for those earning $1,500,000 (£950,000) per year". And yet there is this...
"Cross-country comparisons of income tax are complicated as different countries will have
different local rates, allowances and social contributions. The effective tax rate for a given income
