    We get taxed on gross pay ,what world are you living in?

    Yes we do but that's not what you said.

    The removal of the 10% tax band has effectively reduced the gross pay of the lowest paid in this country

    You state that gross pay has been reduced. Gross pay has not changed as Mikeyorks pointed out - net pay changes due to tax so that is what is affected not gross pay.

    Yep - looks like I was wasting my time on deaf ears. It appears kenshaz thinks we're all afflicted with all that shouting he was doing. ;) Just a shame it's a load of rubbish.

    I think Labour will pay the price for this, which is a bit of a shame really, but I think it is a major blunder similar to the pensioners 25p a week increase some years back
    It was 75p! (But your point was well made)
