...or "Tax doesn't have to be taxing", does it.
Alright, it's a strap-line. Therfore you can invert it & assume the opposite to be true. Undoubtedly, & by its very nature, tax is taxing. And so it has proved to be. By turns 'patronising' [drivel] & 'unfair' [.. blah. blah, blah, 0% growth IN REAL TERMS. Have you met my wife?] it can be pernicious, restrictive thievery, or collective, targeted progress. Sort of.
But.
It's not that the 'devil is in the detail', which it usually is when it comes to dealings with HMRC. Or that the policy differences aren't in the open... "Get yer spouses here. Spouses here, £3/week, dontcha love 'em, £3/week, get yer spouses here..." -vs- "£10k-a-year. No questions asked. Lovely-jubbly..."
Not quite 100%bullshit, but at least 84% Horse-Piss.
It's this idea of a 'personal tax-allowance'; I like that. Is it in my gift? Can I pass it on to any valid NI Number of my choice? My partner? My children (50/50 say). Or a charity, perhaps? #justsaying.
Yeh, right. Didn't think so. Whatever.
