I pay 700k a year in tax, and I’m proud of it

21 December 2024 @ 7:37 am

I’m a high earner (~1.5m / year) and pay a huge amount of tax. I’ve noticed a lot of this sub is about leaving the UK, finding more tax efficient locations and means, so this perhaps runs against the grain - but I feel happy I’m able to contribute so much here. Do I wish government spending was less wasteful? Absolutely. Do people abusing the system piss me off? You bet! Do I sometimes get annoyed about the constant narrative about needing to tax the rich more - yup. But I just wanted to say - this is mostly a great place to live, and the tax we pay makes a big difference to a lot of people. submitted by /u/trudybarks to r/HENRYUK [link]
