andygardener Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Seems like a pretty good budget, nearly doubling the amount people can earn before they are taxed within the course of a parliament is very impressive. Rather suggests that all the stuff about the government not caring about low earners is a load of hot air from supporters of the last lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxes paid by financial services companies were worth £53.4bn in the 12 months to March, according to a City of London report produced by PricewaterhouseCoopers. While total tax revenues from the industry were down by £8bn on the previous year, the financial firms regained their position as the largest contributor to the Exchequer, comprising 11.2pc of the total UK tax take. When you include VAT and income taxes paid by those working in the UKs financial services you probably get a net contribution of around £80/100 billion.

Total Chaos Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Personal allowance will up to £10,000 which is good for that is all I care about. If benefits get cut it's just tough. I know where my vote is going in 2 years. I will believe it when i see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardener Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I will believe it when i see it Budgets are quite specific. They are unlikely to turn round and go "ha, only kidding, we're dropping it to the below £5 that is was for the majority of time under labour".

Penistone999 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well, the Tax on Tobacco dosnt bother me as i buy my Bacca knock off but the 26p increase on 20 cigs will just lead to even more people buying smuggled cigarettes at less than half the retail price. the penny off a pint of Ale is a joke , but not the usual increase . The scrapping of the fuel duty rise dosnt go far enough, there should have been a decrease in fuel duty . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
