So if the system allows them to pay a "small" amount of tax then why would they pay more?. You don't pay more than you legally have to so why do you expect them to pay more.
But like you said if you don't agree with the current tax legislation then you need to contact your MP, start a campaign etc and get it changed. But telling specific people to avoid tax just because you disagree with tax laws is very contradictory.
So you wan't people to be able to receive tips tax free.
Can't you see how that could be exploited, everyone would be paid minimum wage and anything over that would be "tips".
This is another good example of why tipping is such a flawed concept. People should be paid to do a job and get paid to do a good job and rewarded by their employer. Why should only the waiting staff get extra money when the main reason people go to restaurants is for good food which is cooked by staff in the kitchen and nothing to do with the waiting staff.
I won't be doing anything other than what I said I will be doing. and the reasons I gave. The MPs and system know what is being done, dont talk like a child..
All the while the system allows the multinationals, NHS abusers, Fat cats, Bankers and MPs to manipulate the system I will let my own morals decide who and when I tip. And that wont change because you pipe up! lol0 -
You don't know anyone who is earning that in Bella Italia, Nandos, Wagamama or the local Chinese or Indian restaurant.....................
Let's say they serve 9 tables in a 3 hour period. Each table has 6 diners. Each diner has a meal costing £10. Half of the diners decide to tip 10%. That's £27 in tips for 3 hours work. Minimum wage for 3 hours is £22.50. And that's working on a low spend (£10) and assuming only half leave a tip.0 -

How about you speak to a waiter in the above and ask. Rather than all the pointless maths. That said they can still keep it from me..............as can the barber who gets a £1.0 -
Bad at math makes me difficult to calculate tips.0
