In Britain they make you file your taxes every month, call people who earn over £50,000 ($65,000) a year “high earners”, and tax them at 40%
The hidden tax measure in the Budget is huge for people paying tax under self-assessment - sole traders, partners, landlords, retired investors.
For 6th April 2028-29, you currently pay 50% of your income tax late in the tax year in question (in January 2029), 50% just after the year end (in July 2029) with any make-up payment in January 2030.
Under the new proposals you will pay your tax perhaps monthly or quarterly (TBC) from April 2029 onwards. A rough analysis suggests the impact is to draw about 50% of your tax bill forward, a huge cashflow boost to HMRC and a significant funding issue for the self-employed.
The Treasury recognises this, and expects to raise £1.3bn of additional tax in 29/30 as a result of this change.
The cashflow impact of the accelerated charge will send some businesses to the wall.

Everyone on PIP needs to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror. If this guy can put a shift in what’s your excuse?

Excellent article in the Wall Street Journal on Britain's unsustainable welfare spending:
— 7 million people (over 10% of the UK population) now claim at least one or more sickness or disability benefit. This is up 60% in the past 6 years.
— The UK will spend over £100 billion pound this year on sickness and disability benefits. This is projected to increase to £130 billion a year by 2030.
— No other Western country has seen such a rise in disability claims. In the US, 10.6 million people claim some form of federal disability payment, despite the population being 5x larger.
— 1 in 7 new cars sold in the UK are under the Motability scheme; however, only 10% of cars are modified for a disability. In one dealership, 25 out of 26 cars they sold in August were all under the Motability scheme.
— Charities, consultants, YouTubers and TikTokers have all sprung up, telling people how to maximise benefit access. Some of these videos receive hundreds of thousands of views. Over 1,000 people a day are signing on for PIP.
— According to a Government survey from 2024, 25% of the UK's working age population could theoretically be classed as disabled under the current criteria and access these benefits.
— A minimum wage worker who works 40 hours per week would take home around £1,880 per month after tax; however, if you are classed as too sick to work and claim PIP, you can take home £2,000 tax free per month.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC?
We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax.
There should be a criminal investigation.

I don’t ever ask for anything on this platform, but please, please take the time to read Harry’s words in the repost and then repost this, or @stephenblevins9 post, so it gets the attention it really deserves.
I’ve known Harry for around 20 years, and I genuinely can’t tell you what a great lad he is. I’d like to say we’ve helped each other out equally over the years, but if I’m being honest, there’s no doubt he’s done far more for me than I have for him.
I sent him a voice message this morning, asking him not to give up after he had emailed me, and telling him that we’ll find a way to support him. But, in my eyes, the club have properly done him over here.
This is exactly what United want. This is exploiting loyalty to its absolute core.
We’re all lined up next. It’s just a question of who’s next in the firing line; eventually, we'll all be gone.
Shame on you, #MUFC.
All @ManUtd match-going Reds need to read this. Many will know my brother Harry. Has worked his socks off for fans for decades. I won my appeal, but the tone in the response painted a clear picture of the future. I stood with him and returned my Platinum #SeasonTicket too. 🔴⚪️⚫️
