• As above tax is hard to understand and you are only likely to make the effort to understand it if it’s causing you particular stress.

    I agree that it gets complicated when you take into account child benefits and all other extra things. But come on, in its base form, UK PAYE tax is pretty straightforward. Or am I missing something here?

    Yeah - it’s deeply boring to most people. And there is a lot of well paying work that doesn’t require people who can or do understand it.

I mean I don't exactly find taxes riveting either, but when it directly impacts me, I do make the effort to google it for a minute.
