Well Dale, Think yourself lucky because blighty taxes its loyal subjects a hefty 22% tax, 12% National Insurance, my NHS pension is 6% so that is around 40% without all the stealth taxes, council tax, water rates, sewerage etc - Need I go on.
In surveys it seems the average overall tax a UK citizen pays is really around 48%. Quote from a National Newpaper in UK "A household receiving £28,000 a year in disposable income pays 47.9 per cent of that in tax, while earners in the top income bracket pay 46.9 per cent."
Shame is was not easier to get employment in Canada - I would love to give it a try. The UK lets anyone in to work it seems, with or without permits....
If you all come to work over here filling our positions then maybe Canada will get desperate and pay you more to go back and make entry easier - After all your country is about 41 times the size of ours and only half the population......Sounds great.
