In the UK you get taxed on absolutely everything.
Up to 45% income tax, which you never even see because the government takes it before it reaches you.
Then another 10–12% for National Insurance (and no one really knows what that’s actually for).
Then there’s Council Tax, another 10% of your wage money you’ve already been taxed on.
So that’s about 60% of your income gone already.
If you want to increase your money and start a side hustle, there’s 20% VAT, 25% corporation tax, and business rates that can be over £1,000 a month.
What if you want to invest your already taxed money to make some more?
You’ll be taxed 28% on your investment gains too.
Maybe you’re lucky enough to inherit money or a property your parents worked their whole life for and they’ve already paid tax on it?
You’ll be taxed 40% with Inheritance Tax.
The UK has become a country where hard-working people are farmed for every penny.
Credit cards, loans, and mortgages are thrown at you to ‘solve’ your money problems.
And then you become a slave to the banks and the government for life.
And tell me, what can you even get for your money nowadays?
