The Budget - how will it affect you
 

So, the half man half badger has announced what he's going to do with our money this year, and how much he wants off us, as the org is probably a representative sample if you want to find out just how the changes will affect you you can use this page from BBC news:

I think I'll be a lot better off.
1, Packed up smoking when I had my accident.
2, Don't really drink (Maybe 3 pints) if & when i go out (about once every 3 weeks)
3, Sold my car.
So I can live with the old budget.


Anyone want to buy some plastic bags cheap :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

Surprisingly, that calculator says I will be about £213 better off.

Re: The Budget - how will it affect you
 

About £280 better off. I'll be paying less tax, but a lot more NI.

Re: The Budget - how will it affect you
 

Im £300 better off too,but when you allow for inflation we are all a lot worse off.

Find a calculator that has bikes instead of cages and it may be able to tell the truth ;)

Re: The Budget - how will it affect you
 

Its all going from tax to NI.

I find it strange that the government fail to acknowledge the windfall they have had from increasing oil prices. All that extra VAT on petrol, gas, electricity etc.

Re: The Budget - how will it affect you
 

Close to £300 better off, however i would love to see which of the so called 'stealth taxes' have come in, increased, doubled, changed scope and overall come home to bite!
