Bitter moi?

Of course I'm bitter. I'm taxed on my pension and savings (money I already paid tax on when I earned it) just so the government can give it away to all and sundry.

Are you taxed on your savings or just any interest/dividends from them?

interest/dividends ~ I've maxed out with Premium Bonds and ISAs since retirement but still taxed on the miserly return from Bonds and general savings.

Clearly, the gubberment doesn't want anybody to save.... You have to go out and spend it all to boost the economy....

We have a 30% 'defence tax' (tax) on interest from savings here...

They'll have negative interest rates soon - mark my werds!

I did my bit ~ I bought a new car (20% VAT  )

    My new car fund is about to get 'diverted'   (but I like my current car)

Taxing interest on accounts has always been wrong imho.  The man in the street should only get taxed on net interest/dividends minus inflation as that's the only net gain you actually get - in most years bugger all or a net loss.  But it won't happen.

As for negative interest rates IIRC BM is in the Eurozone so they should already be in place after last week's announcements.

I am embarrassed every time the CAP subsidy arrives and cancels out the tax my fine accountant has been unable to offset.

You have an accountant just to pay your fines?

Those double yellow lines are such a bother

Where is Foggy anyway?   I expected some sort of reaction to being knocked out of the World Cup

Anyway for record, a lot of good people are from Leeds
