Re: Yet again

Follow the money; it's the lobbying powers of the the big consultancies and off-shorers that have set this agenda over many years, along with the ignorance/incompetence/corruption of government. I've been contracting for 30 years and had to work with my fair share of cheap but not good value off-shorers. I've also contributed ~ national average earnings in tax take each year, assuming I've been in work and my job hasn't been filled by an off-shorer in the downturns. This continuous onslaught, the last few years of tax grab and the uncertainty have made me decide, even though I am at the top of my game, having a good number years of earnings and tax payment potential before official retirement, to pack it all in. So they'll be no more ~ national earnings tax take from me each year; hopefully the big off-shorers and consultancies will be able to fill the tax gap that is left by me and I'm sure many others who have had enough of this nonsense.
