about the same as me then

Markb_s1

let's meet in the middle then... you up yours to 32% or whatever and i'll drop mine to the same level... lol.

rssteve

but you only pay 40% on the last part, and NI does drop to 1% i think so its not that bad is it.

well it aint good lol.......and you pay 40% on the whole lot after the allowance of £5751 is taken off so you pay full whack on £35k of it

dojj

but only on a certain amount of money above the threashold
up until the £32 k mark you only pay the 22% rate

unless you have a company car, then you get fucked

Joris_FRST

In Belgium you would have been in the 50% bracket for most of that amount

mattyb1981

surely he wouldnt get taxed the same as the rest of us would have thought his wages would go through his agent and to some off sure account to avoid paying so much tax if any?

Paul Eggleton

Thats not true Dan, the 40% bit starts at £36k at the moment

Mike - You learn something new everyday... I hit the 40% tax bracket for the first time last year, kinda sucked big style!

Smit

Paul isn't the 34K plus your 5k allowance?

So bracket would be 38ish....

That's right as it charged on taxable pay after allowances:-
"Remember, the tax band applies to your income after tax allowances and any reliefs have been taken into account; you're not taxed on all of your income" as per http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTax...Tax/DG_4015566

Paid £100k p.a. (I wish )
first 5k @ 0 % (500 tax code for arguments sake)
5001 - 7,230 @ 10% and so on.....

39601 and above @ 40 % where you may as well give it straight to the government

Little Spikey

Forgot to say, almost feel sorry for him:-

Monthly Salary...................£120k

PAYE deduction.................. £55k

Being Ginger...................... Priceless

Don't get how liverpool fans can slate him , scores some great goals and is generally pretty good when played in defence, and very good when in midfield ..... One of Liverpools better players IMHO...

Smit

Little Spikey - That's what i thought, so the bracket would be nearer 40k than 35!

Will - I quite Like John, but he's losing his touch of late! If he was on form would have scored in the last 2 matchs against Everton + Arsenal

i thought it was 33-34 +5k as per smit. as well

PHEW

he plays as a winger in 90% of the games he plays....yet he has no skill, has you ever seen him pull off summat clever? no....cos he can't.

compare him to the wide players at the other clubs in the top 4 then you see how lacking in real talent he is.

granted he has scored some good goals, and important ones too...without them he would have been long gone imo.

as a left back he is ok, he can tackle and take throw ins, which is about all you need to do
