Advice is what we seek when we already know the answer - but wish we didn't
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full-frontal lobotomy

| Quote: The Video Ref "I got a C at GCSE maths and have never given it any serious thought since. My trail of thought is as follows:
Tax is roughly 20%. So the tax they would have taken on that £3000 is about £600.
By not taking tax on that £3000 the average tax payer is thus £600 better off, no?
If you disagree please explain why and show working (as they would say in exams)
OK.
If you are earning £20,000 from April 2013, you will pay £20000 minus £9440 = £10560 x 20% = £2112 tax
If you are earning £20,000 from April 2014, you will pay £20000 minus £10000 = £10000 x 20% = £2000 tax
So you are actually only £112 pa or £2.15 per week better off

| A real old scattergun of a Budget. No clear policy thread running through it at all.
Giveaways for some (shale gas explorers, middle income families with children, buyers of new build houses, beer drinkers), kicks in the teeth for others (further cuts to public sector budgets, pay rises capped at well below inflation).
Basically, a whole load of tinkering around the edges of the economy while it continues to lurch further away from the Government's own targets on growth and borrowing. Quite how Osborne has the cheek to insist that everything is still on track I don't know.
Mind you, when you've got News International on your side you can convince the public of anything (apparently the Sun front page this morning massively understated the debt position - accidentally or otherwise).

Thanks for that, it's going to be fun watching this develop.
And all for the sake of a pathetically token crumb of 1p off a pint.
As with the pasty tax, it merely shows how out of touch he is.

icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |
