I have tracked a months tax, that the Government collected from me.
£344.40 Income Tax
£137.83 NI
£155.00 Council Tax
£20.00 Road Tax
£32.00 Diesel Duty
£100.00 Food Shopping Vat
£20.00 VAT Energy Bill
£80.00 Alcohol Duty
And, to add insult to injury, £200.00 vat for damage caused to my car from a pot hole.
In total £1098.23 – that is 50% of my salary. The working man/woman is not getting value for money in this rip off tax system!
