More tax rises
One more reason why i want to emigrate kids hardly stand a chance.
It is estimated that we already give 46p in the pound to the government the form of direct taxation ,such as income tax and national insurance,and indirect taxes, such as fuel duty and V.A.T.
Reading the national papers economists reckon that a black hole in our economy will need addressing with tax rises equivalent to another 6p in the pound.
That will take my contribution to the Government to a staggering 52p out of every pound i earn.
The thought of even more tax rises after the next election to fnd more vote -winning ,politically correct lunacy makes my flesh creep.

And there seem to be more indirect taxes here, as there is so much licencing and forms filling; compliance plates for every alteration on a vehicle, dog licences, licences if you are renovating a house yourself, it goes on....I'm told Queensland is the worst:scared:

Aus taxes more than the UK, I know that is hard to comprehend when you believe that brown/blair tax you to hell.
Thing is I know blair/brown tax me to hell, so did howard. Aus is full of dole cheats, blaggers, layabouts, just like blighty. Only difference in UK is that you can afford to pay the taxes, net pay in Oz is pretty crap compared to UK.
Me and Ozzie Mrs are far better off in home counties than Sydney and we are not professional city types. Just an "average" type couple.

The main draws of life in Oz seem to be outdoor life, better weather, possibly friendlier people etc.
These aren't our reasons by the way, but thats the reasons I'm getting from other people.

Yeah, 46p in pound for DIRECT Taxes.
You forgot to mention the rest (INDIRECT TAXES)..Fuel/Council Tax, etc..
Economists and their likes estimated the Total fleecing at 70-75p in Pound.
And you gotta pay a hefty mortgage/rent for a Cardboard box too.
Long Live the UK in the 3rd World.

That is an insult to anyone with a slight grasp of economics.
Glad you feel rich in Aus, maybe all those third world pounds bought you a nice life in rubber dollar oz?

How much you spend on taxes is largely up to you.
Here's how the OECD sees it:
