Hi Sandra

seems like your luck is well below average, eh ?

Also, premium bond prizes are tax free in the UK whereas building society interest is subject to tax.

Keep ya fingas X'd mate

nope 48% plus bracket in AUS......easy done, over $60K here, whoops the budget moved it up a bit $62Kish come July...

agreed I was being a bore....GP = Global Payroll with PS = PeopleSoft, hence being an even more complete and utter bore about payroll and taxes.

I wish I wish it was computer games, anyone play Age of Empire???

cheers

You are of course a skit :D :scared:

PS skills are still on the MODL list

UK work out 40% for tax (kicks in abut 35K pounds - depending on personal taxation level) but NI rates are at 11% depending on NI contribution level (company pension dependent) to an upper level (much lower than the 40% tax bracket level), 1% only after that. Makes a maximum of 41% if in top bracket. And currently there is a bit gap between 40% tax bracket rate and NI Upper earning level

AUS - 48% top rate and then you have medicare level...this starts at $62K = 2.5 coverversion = approx 24K pounds. And before you all jump on me and shout I know you do not earn the same in AUS and it all goes further etc. I agree, but I live in Sydney....and it is the same same, I am looking for IT contracts back in the UK, to work six months and earn rates there and bring back and happily pay 48% plus tax.........

And just incase you all jump on me further, I am in AUS, liking it very much, I just know what I know for me and I have my own opinion for me and mine ;)

goodness I hope I made sense...back to my payroll box!!!!!!!!!
