UK Tax System

Good summary of the UK tax system, the article demonstrating that income is taxed far more heavily than other forms of earnings.

So about 30% of income for most people. A simplified tax system is long overdue, but it seems further away than ever. Especially since direct income tax is seen as a difficult thing for the government to raise.
