Bankers Pay For You
THE Croydonian looks at the evil bankers:
Well, “Large banks accounted for about 30 per cent of the UK’s corporation tax receipts last year, according to a study by PwC“. FT 14/8/8
I make CT receipts £51.3 bn, and 30% of that is £15.4 bn. Here is a list of 2008 spending, take your pick. You could have half the defence budget, or tertiary and secondary education spending at central government level or a quarter of old age pension spending.
And that’s before income tax, business rates etc etc.
