The outpourings of a deranged mind

Taxed!?

So it would appear the government is not as generous as I thought. Yes, they gave me sixty odd quid a week while I was unemployed but now they’d like a large portion of it back. Turns out Job Seekers Allowance is taxed, at 40% in my case. I suspect this years tax return is going to need an accountant. Ho hum.

    Mere pocket change for you though I’d imagine! ;)

    40%? Is that at tax rate or a form of abuse?

    I’d forgotten how much I love the UK government.
