You dont say how much you earn but generally tax and National Insurance come to between about 18-25%

Of course you then get taxed on whats left when you buy fuel (fuel duty) Housing (coucil tax) food, clothes, domestic goods etc(VAT) air travel, road tax, death duty, inheritance tax, Import duty, the list is endless

I estimate that In reality if you earn five hundred quid a week, the government snaffles �350-400 of it.

Has anyone ever worked out these figures properly I wonder.
