I only came across this article because of the merge proposal. It would get far greater exposer to editors and viewers if it was moved with this link becoming a redirect. The main article gets on average 500 hits a day GameKeeper (talk) 22:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Detailed breakdown of winners/losers?

Can I add a table here of which income classes won/lost out under the proposed changes? It's original calculation, but hardly original research - since it's just running numbers through a calculator. --foolsjourney —Preceding comment was added at 14:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move

I'm going to be WP:bold and move this page to the more accurate Starting rate of UK income tax. --Lo2u (T • C) 21:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Abolition

I don't understand. There was something on the news that the 10p tax rate isn't abolished anymore. Please clarify. 86.29.141.132 (talk) 17:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

As I understand it the Prime Minister promised to make unspecified efforts to help people at some time in the future if they have been adversely affected by the tax increase. The majority of people in this country have tax deducted by their employers through the pay as you earn scheme and these people are already paying tax at the new rates. Others self-assess and they won't be expected to calculate their tax until next 6 April at the earliest so might not notice the changes until then. --Lo2u (T • C) 19:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay, do you think a mention of this should be included in this article? 86.29.141.77 (talk) 19:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Absolutely, I think that's a very good idea. --Lo2u (T • C) 20:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
