Who pays all the taxes? - Interesting tax facts

Published 2024-07-17
We take a look at the breakdown of tax revenues and some interesting tax-related facts. As individual taxpayers, the government tax take today is the highest since the 1940s and could worsen before it gets better. This then prompts the question, who pays all the tax, and is the burden shouldered fairly across the UK?

  • What about all the taxable income that is washed free of via offshore banks. Furthermore, there's Amazon who last year's earned of €42 profit in Europe and did pay a cent in tax. I heard once that approximately £120 billion pass through the City of London laudromat annually with no tax deduction.

    I know that top earners pay a lot of tax, but there seems to be very little here in the way of how much people pay who gain their income as a product of asset ownership such as collection of rent, debt repayment, or dividends
