  • There’s no good solution to these cliff edges. Start tapering the support at lower income levels and you create really high marginal tax rates. Have no cliff edge and you are giving £££ to mega earners.

    For anyone caught by this isn’t the simple solution to chuck anything over £100k in your pension for a few years?

  • But what about your Evoque lease? Can't downsize when the kids still need a pram!

    Seriously though - I think it's on taxable income, so while your pension is pre-tax it doesn't reduce your taxable income number. Ianaa.

    I also assume this is why you get large salaries after a certain point. The take home on 150k vs 160k is not a lot after tax as a %.

    Just do that, make the marginal rate smoothly increasing, adjust the bands until it's all revenue neutral. Scrap NI too. Couple of day's work at most
