Now I know you are making this up. Or you are including other income these GP's have outside of GP income.

GP's that own thier own practices. Dont forget some own more than 1 practice. Had an Indian GP who earns about £450k pa, although this is reduced of course when it comes to paying Tax, for example 'use of home as officed (for each surgery) which of course is no a real cost, and payin g other family members a share, which none the less is all really just the GP's income comming into her household.

And yes, of course she also owns many B2L's.

Those early retired baby boomers will be cheering though.

And so they should, after living most of their lives not taking countless benefits from the government (which seems to be the norm today).

You do come across some extraordinary cases, which you put across as completely normal.

With the fraud you keep on mentioning (like claiming for a home office several times over) makes me believe you are just looking to make things up for reaction rather than it being true. I believe this more so when you feel you have to highlight the ethnicity of a GP, highlight the "close to, if not outright" fraud, and then talk about his BTL's.

If the government cut taxes, people can spend the money, which helps the economy and then the government claw much of it back in the form of VAT, corporation tax or duty

The fly in the ointment is what people spend it on. If we spend it all on imported goods, China benefits and the UK less so - If people use the money to pay down their debts, the government cant claw it back in indirect taxes and may even lose out a little on corporation taxes from the banks - thats when they're not avoiding it.

I don't know, but I'll wager that the one for Ken himself is different for the one for the man in the street.

Does that include all those retirees from public sector non-jobs?

Would your company condone the behaviour anything like the MPs during the budget speech ?

A lot of them could do with learning the art of listening. Oh, and perhaps some manners.

A public school education clearly doesn't extend to teaching manners these days.
