The Institute for Fiscal Studies said above-inflation increases in the personal allowance to £12,500 a year meant 42% of adults paid no income tax.
That is a horrible stat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was my thought too, it suggests 42% of the population get by on just ~£250 a week, or less.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part-time workers gents
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s over 8,000,000 people FYI
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it's fair to assume that many of those 8m adults have dependents of some sort, and it's not difficult to see why so many children are raised in near poverty.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Or one parent works part time for 12k and the breadwinner works full time for 30k or so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well yes, obviously, and there will also be many that have no dependents and live at their parents. But the fact is the stat given is 42% of the adult workforce, that will include the demographic mentioned.

I've said it before, but the calculations are wrong. Work from what is a minimum amount to live on, then tax those above. Is 12.5k really an amount that is livable?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How about no thanks ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How about give it nicely or we'll take more?

If you live at home, pay no bills, have no dependents, no car and don't go out, then maybe you can live off that.

Most of the time a necessity for various reasons imo..

£20k salary additional £130pa

Unless that £100k salary is actually £100k rental income.

I'm yet to see how they do it, but when I googled "dividend tax change" yesterday, the first result was a telegraph article
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/investing/shares/dividend-tax-rise-much-extra-will-pay-beat/amp/
Obviously it's paywalled, so I can't see it but the headline is "Dividend tax increase – how much extra you will pay and how to beat it"
Hopefully there is also a way to beat the NI rise, as well as the parasitcal process of dividend extraction that's destroyed pension pots across the country, artificially inflated our utility bills and has increasingly suppressed wages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dividend tax increase – how much extra you will pay and how to beat it.”

You didn't miss much, when asked if the new NI rises will stop people being forced to sell their homes should the require care the PM was unable to answer yes despite this being heralded as the main gain of his policy. The rises also don't seem to consider residential care costs either.
all very strange.
Now Parliament is full all the pointless noises were being made regardless of the points being made.
It's just a shambles.

Williamson was asked if he had met Marcus Rashford.
“We met over Zoom & he seemed incredibly engaged, compassionate and charming but then he had to shoot off.”
Later Williamson’s team admit that he actually met the rugby player Maro Itoje.

Absolute disgrace.
Bowing to demands from the administration of a climate change-denying, coal promoting proven liar with vested interests in the fossil fuel lobby governing a country with half the economic clout of the UK on matters relating to the biggest existential threat to mankind’s future in order to secure a trade deal estimated to be worth over 15 years 0.01 to 0.02% of GDP.
It’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so facking tragic.
