Beat me to it. A man suffering an entirely self inflicted wound.

Yet more invective.

Nobody has claimed £140 million in NI increases is ‘irrelevant’ as my father told me and I told my own kids, ‘you’ve gotta pay your taxes son’. Triple whammy? Retirement is something to look forward to. I’ve never met anyone who said they retired to early, though I have met many who didn’t plan and prepare for retirement. I’ve always expected part of my pensions to be subjected to 40% tax, on the flip side they are a very effective means of making tax free savings through your working lives. The tax free lump sum alone is a shockingly good deal. Protected allowances yet another stunningly good deal. ….. Please take note of the avoidance of invective.

They are a tax deductible cost, so no they do not come out of profits.

Personal attacks are never deserved. Yes I do realize, it’s also less than Saunsbury have allocated for a share buy back, which adds nothing to the company profitability but does pad out share price with a faux ‘improvement’. And…. It’s tax deductible, so on that ‘financial literacy thing…?.

Oh so that wasn’t you inserting a link to ‘Tax raising budget’?

Yet more personal attacks. The costs just went up by less than half of 1% and even that is deductible against taxes on profits.

All this anger and personal attacks over taxes you aren’t paying, what’s going on guys?

When did I say they don’t pay tax on the profits?

One more time, myths, like increased taxes on working people in the Autumn budget don’t exist. A bit like unicorns, they don’t exist either. Let me know what bits of the budget have made more harder for you, I’m always willing to listen.

Ah the personal attack.

Identify the tax increases on working people.

Not at the moment no. Snd no there have been no tax increases for working people, as per the Labour Manifesto. And by the way, average worker losing money but you don’t want to talk about minimum wage increases….

But you can’t actually say what taxes have risen for working people. I wonder why that is?

You have a good point. During the energy crisis Labour did suggest windfall taxes on energy companies. The Tories chose to protect energy windfall profits with tax funded subsidies to consumers. EDL, who you mention, were subject to price controls in their home county. So while I don’t know when Labour will tax windfall profits, I fully expect t them to do so if windfall profits are made at cost to consumers.

I thought you’d flounced?!

They’re mythical, they don’t exist. Doh!

Yet more references to mythical taxes.

Same question for you, point out the tax increase for n working people.

Yes, he’s making a prediction. it’s an opinion. And it’s not a tax.

No, taxes are detailed in the budget, the definition of taxes is defined in the tax laws.

James is playing fast and loose with the meaning the word ‘tax’.

And if it doesn’t you’ll hope that in the interim 6 months we’ve all forgotten your predictions, which I expect t you’ll only replace with more.

Yep some taxes went up, this thread is discussing one of them. But taxes on working people did not go up. Was that a flounce I wonder?

Can you point out which part is an increase in tax on working people?
