If u even earn 100K then u would have to pay 40K as tax. This really sucks, it better to work in a country where there is no tax, like Dubai.
If u self-employed u have to pay 22% as tax, that why G.Ps earn alot of money. My G.P get around 200K and only pay 22% tax. So if u want alot of money either move to country with no tax or become self-employed.

The first 3.something grand u earn is tax free, or something like that. Up to £30,500 you pay 22%. Only then onward do you pay 40%. So you do tha math because I can't be bothered, well I've heard thats the way the tax system works anyway. Otherwise who the heck would want to earn 33k when they'd be better off earning 30k.

I heard you could earn a lot with plumbing as well! A friend of mine who's a plumber (self employed) earns more than 100k p.a. Maybe he's just lucky, I dunno....
I think I might do a Maths and something else degree (economic or computer science), become an actuary which is quite good pay, then set up my own company if I'm not yet satisfied. I enjoy Maths and things like that but just worried that I might end up with a boring job

yeah but if you're on 200k a year your first 4750 at no tax is nothing, you might as well just say you pay 50% tax (plus 10% NI) and live with it.
when you start paying rediculas amounts of money in tax you'll be anoyed by it too!!! You know that a family with an income of 20k is no better off than one with an income of 12k? due to tax taken off the 20k guy and benifits given to the 12k guy it works out they take home about the same!

I don't get how they'd work income related council tax, i mean surely someone on 30k a year's bins cost the same to take out that someone on 20k a year???

I think it's supposed to be as a percentage of your earnings rather than a fixed amount, cos £1000 to someone on low earnings is worth more than to someone on high earnings (that's the logic behind it anyway). It's a way of trying to make sure poorer people have a similar percentage of disposable income to richer people.

My cousins dad is a royal naval surgeon, he earns 100k+ basic salary, then there is all the freebies you get with being in the navy like, free private education for your kids, travel expenses and cheap accomodation if you want it.

In a public sector job at the cost of the taxpayer? How ridiculous.

There is a lot of money around if you are a skilled manual worker - plumber, joiner, carpenter, window/blind fitter (can go self employed).
