can we once and for all nail the lie of 83% income tax rates?
it was ONLY 83% of UNEARNED income over £100,000 per annum.
so, if you had a few squillion in the bank, for instance, and you received over £100,000 in interest, THAT amount over £100,000 was taxed at 83%.
no working man ever paid that, and only the stupidly rich, (jagger, mccartney and some posh toffs like the duke of westminster etc did, but its not like it left them short, is it?).
