Love to know how those on PAYE get out of paying the higher tax rates.
Because you are suggesting this happened. And if they can get out of
paying a higher rate of 50%, why would they not do the same with 40% or
whatever?


EASY. They become self-employed, paying dividends or 'self-employed'
paying 9% NI. Or they sacrifice salary for pension contributions or
other in-work benefits.


Right. So no longer on PAYE. The Irish answer when asking directions - 'If
I were you, I wouldn't start from here.'
