Nice2023:
If you earn form 50k pounds downwards you pay only 20% tax

If you earn from 51k pounds to 125k pounds you pay 40% tax.

So you rather remain at 49k than accept 50/60k pounds salary.
This is not true
The higher rate tax applies to the excess not the gross

In Sweden/Ireland in particular, they use that to discourage people to greedly overworked themselves, so that, there would still be much more jobs for others to do.

Besides, they also use tax to *ploughback money from citizens to economy in other to redistribute it for wellbeing of general public.

That is country where they plan and things are working well for them.

False information.
You pay 0% tax on the first £12,570. 20% basic rate tax on the part of your income which falls into the next tax bracket (£12,571 up to £50,270). This means you'll pay 20% tax on £37,700.
Anything you earn above £50,271 to £125,140, is taxed at 40%.
Your income over £125,140, is taxed at 45%.
That's why you see those footballers with fleets of expensive cars. That is where they put all their earnings to avoid paying big taxes.

I do not see the connection between your analysis and fleets of expensive cars
That is illogical
By the way is it only footballers that are rich?
Expensive cars and footballers is a function of age nothing to do with tax
Please explain what is the relationship between fleet of cars and tax?

Yesterday I opened a thread on "11 Reasons Why You Should Not Japa From Nigeria"

Reason No. 11 has something to do with this topic. Let me quote it below:

11.) NO RAT RACE OR EXTREME TAXATION IN NIGERIA:

You will labour abroad for a month and the rigged system will use "high taxation, high cost of living and the scam credit system" to return everything back to the system in order for you to repeat the circle again. In a bid not to go homeless on the cold streets, and also to put food on your table, you have no other option than to keep repeating the circle until the time you will finish your term of slavery due to old age, then your children will start where you stopped and the circle continues.

Truth is, the entire world is controlled by the globalists in the West, the further away you're from the West and it's entanglements the freer you will become. If the 1% elite in the West removes the rigging in the system you will be able to secure enough bags and retire early. But they stands to lose if people starts excaping the system early, they need your manpower for longer period of time to maintain their industries and establishments. This explains why the more income you earn there, the more rediculous taxes you pays because the system is continously gauging you and the tax system (one of it's tools of control) is strictly and heavily guided, defaulters risks jail term. The system was programmed in a way that you will never get enough in order not for you to start thinking of excaping the slave camp early until you finish your term of slavery.

This is one of reasons why rich and exposed Nigerians don't fancy living abroad. Even most African ex-footballers returns home immediately after the end of their career in Europe. An average Nigerian coming from lack, hunger and extreme poverty and who is daydreaming of Japa won't be able to see this anomaly.

Living in Nigeria will provide you the opportunity to excape Matrix.

You can't be using the American taxation system to analyze that of Britain, it's not even close to being the same pls.

He is correct. Learn how british tax works. You only pay 40% on the amount above 50k.

Leke Agba the liar. 20% will be paid on the first 50,000 and 40% will be paid on the rest, which is 1000. Some amount should be tax free though (probably the first 10,000 or so). I used the American tax system. Should not be much difference, just the amt will defer.

Haha

Leke Agba is only trying to comprehend oyinbo mentality with his Nigerian sense. School na scam to his type, but if he had paid attention in economics class he'd have known that the UK employs a progressive system of individual taxation, which your country's lawmakers skillfully manouvered themselves away from. If you earn more you have a lot more at stake and need to pay more so the system you're benefiting from doesn't breakdown.

This is the most intelligent post I have seen today here. What you said is 100% correct. As u said, because of serious sapa and poverty alot of Nigerians would not know this.

It is a lie. Tax is tiered you dont pay 40% on everything, you pay only 40% on the additional income above the upper threshold .


As you can see below. The 1st £12570 you pay nothing, the next £37700 you pay 20%, whatever you earn above £50270 you will pay 40%. So if you earn £50280, only £10 of that will be taxed at 40%. The rest will be at 0% and 20%.

it is a little confusing. 0 to 49k pays 20% tax. And aany amount after 49k eg 2k that made it 51k would be charged 40%. That is 49-20% 2k-40%

The UK Government even have the data of the citizens, and they know what every citizen earns, so as to know how to TAX them...



OK Naa..

The Nigerian Government don't even know the actual number of its citizens, not to talk of knowing the number of its working citizens..

False!

I saw this post somewhere on Instagram and couldnt help but shake my head at the misinformation and how fast it was being spread and swallowed.

Yes there are tax bands, and you pay higher tax percentages if you earn more. But there's not a single case where your 'net pay' becomes less when you receive a salary increase.

The monthly net pay of a person earning £50,000/annum would definitely be more than the net pay of a person earning £49,000; the monthly net pay difference should roughly be about ~£50 monthly.
