Which brings me to this point: regressive tax regimes that are viewed by the masses as inherently unfair and overly grasping of hard-earned money typically prompt a predictable response — those believing their money is under threat will try to hold on to as much of it as they can.
Middle-class businesses and individuals continue to be the focus of the government’s tax avoidance shooting party, as the impending implementation of the Finance Act 2015’s travel & subsistence measures underscore.
Is there any doubt this nihilistic approach to taxation keeps a large chunk of the UK’s most entrepreneurial working population and businesses under heel? It’s time the UK stopped shooting itself in the foot, tax wise — again, again and again.
On a brighter, lighter note: if I ran the world, all workplaces would adopt Point 13 of Recruit Recruit’s Mission Statement: “We believe a workplace with a dog in it is an altogether better place.” Give us a shout if you need a dog walker during the day!
