Husband an Expat overseas

ConfusedExpat

Exactly, the 50% would have been charged to over 80% of my husbands income and no tax free pay! its a completely unjust amount for any individual to pay, hence our departure.

Of course we work for our family and ourselves, I am sure that is our primary responsibility!

So your husband is a professional earning over 750k a year, but your asking on an internet forum questions that his accountant could answer lol

I dunno, I must be missing something here...so far the Op has been called morally wrong, a scrounger,a troll and a moron and that how another poster implied her husband might find another 'newer model in the land of plenty'.

No disrespect to the other posters but I don't think any of these awful comments are worthy of a 'thanks'!

That's just my two penneth worth....

I don't think those comments are worthy of a thanks, either, but the poster I quoted wanted the OP to thank their posts, specifically, and I wondered why they had made several comments to this when the OP had made posts saying thank you rather than pressing the button.

Any sensible,level headed contributor would question why your post would merit being thanked twice......

Well done for adding so much to the debate...;)

You need a calculator not an accountant. And I need a tax advisor and not an accountant!

Use as many exclamation marks as you like, if you think an accountant does not advise on tax then your not only a troll but a complete idiot

My calculations are correct, but as a professional person yourself surely you could have worked that out, tut tut tut

So his earnings are closer to a million then (if £150k is less than 20% of his income).

If that is true (and I seriously doubt it) then its clear that money buys neither taste nor morality.

If he wanted to reduce his tax liability he could have given a nice wedge each year to charity.

Either the OP is posting to get a reaction, troll
Or they have come on to a forum to ask about claiming benefits even though they are in a relationship and end their children to private schools costing tens of thousands of pounds and her husband is earning over 750k, moron
Why two people thanked my post I do not know, why not ask them

It is you are right, it is only 50% on earnings over 150k.

If 50% is paid on income over £150k, and your husband would have had to pay the 50% tax rate on 80% of his income, that leaves 20% of income where he is not paying that high level of tax [the £150k].

If £150K is 20% of wages, that means 100% would equal £750k per year.
