I'm not sure that's the case. What large UK companies will now do is switch to share buybacks rather than dividends.
The pensions contributions change is only supposed to bring in the same amount as the cost of the IHT changes.
Middle earners will be disproportionately hit by changes to child...
I'm not disagreeing.
According to the IFS report on the budget middle income earners have borne the brunt of the £47 billion of tax rises hidden in last week's budget
Do you therefore think it's a bit strange that David Cameron, who was so vocal in criticising Jimmy Carr, was equally vocal in defending Gary Barlow's OBE after GB's tax dodging antics were revealed.
Eh? I was having a pop at the bozo who was boasting about having two degrees, and the poor reputation of the McD degree

not the industry.
Sorry if you took offence x
Fair enough. Let's agree to disagree.
A multi-millionaire taking €300,000 from the taxpayer to make his weekend retreat more desirable for hunting and fishing parties is one thing. I'm not anti rich people, I'd quite like to be one myself.
When that person is the editor of the most popular...
Yes and no Woodster.
Taking a €300,000 government subsidy for your 14,000 acre second property is claiming money from the taxpayer in exactly the same way as the woman with a clopper the size and smell of a fisherman's Wellington boot, isn't it?

I also take back some of my earlier comments about Dacre's salary. It was £1.85 million in 2013, now up to £2.4 million in 2014.
I agree with you. This particular woman does appear to be milking the system.
However the print media, with it's focus on such people and reluctance to also highlight the abuses by wealthy corporations and individuals, is creating a culture where those on benefits are demonised and vilified...
Interesting that the editor of the Daily Mail, Paul Dacre, who is paid £1.85 million a year, hasn't mentioned the €300,000 of benefits he has claimed in respect of his country retreat.......
If a couple have four kids and are just making ends meet from their employment and THEN the son of the 17th Baronet of Ballentaylor (aka George Osborne) reduces your net income I have a lot of sympathy.
However something has to be done to pay for those 50 something's inheriting million pound...
