Delivering Builders Materials Starting 9AM On Monday - I Almost Got HIT By A Van!

[@christianlloyd-williams2063]

Hi mate, if you are worried about paying 40% tax, you can make a pension contribution which the government automatically add 20% to and you can reclaim the additional 20% through your self assessment tax return. I am a financial adviser btw.

[@SoftHighlights1]

This was something I had no idea about, only found out through a friend at work telling me recently. All I had to do was call HMRC and they sorted it, got back a fair chunk! Crazy it’s not done automatically..

[@ralliant5941]

By time he's paid his hire n reward insurance is paid, that's halved the money straight away.... fk ya 40% gov.. and finding these things out screwing the lil man trying to make abit of something for himself is just so wrong and especially you go to prison if ypu don't pay so it's extortion either way.. we are all shafted and won't be able to afford to live soon enough and I'm already sick of bosses and the big peeps having control of our lives that they don't care about in their hands!!

[@nathantilly3539]

Maybe you know but if you actually go into that 40% tax bracket, you only actually pay tax on the additional income over the limit, so say the limit is 51k and you earn 55k you'll only pay tax on the 4k extra you earn, it's a pretty big misconception here in the UK that it's 40%/50% of the whole salary when its just the additional over the bracket :)

[@MrBinkz]

That’s just how progressive tax systems work in general, not unique to the UK

[@originalunoriginal4055]

Anything you earn over £12.4k is taxed by 21% So £12.4k over the 12 months, will not be taxed.

[@nathantilly3539]

​@@MrBinkz correct but people don't always understand and they think that they will be taxed on the full amount

18:06 in Germany you also have what you call tax brackets but in your example you would pay for the first 12,750 0% for the 12,751 - 50,270 20% and for the 50,271 - 125,140 40% so in other words its payed in levels if that makes sense. if you'd cross the 50,270 mark you wouldn't pay 40% taxes on all your income, just for every pound you made above 50,270. Isn't that the case in the uk? just checked it's the same in uk so don't worry if you earn more than 50,270 my guy just keep grinding

[@wolfsberg86]

Hey dude. Perhaps you know this but if you go into the higher tax bracket, you'll only pay the higher rate of tax on anything you earn over the £50k. £0 to £49999.99 will still be taxed at 20%. So although you'll pay higher tax on any earnings past £50k, you won't lose money on your total earnings by earning more than £50k. 👍🏻💰

[@AndreasNeofytou]

Can't believe that people will refuse to earn more than 50k because they don't know how tax works

[@Many_Mirrors]

Yeah, I was thinking it would be an extremely stupid system if you suddenly got taxed 40% instead of 20% as soon as you moved up the bracket. That way people earning 49k would earn more than people earning 50k-65k

[@princenw1]

yeah but still, who wants to pay almost half your earnings in tax even if its after 50k @@AndreasNeofytou

[@lin90210]

Glad to see the blanket showing an appearance. It's definitely a big change to the Indian Summer we had just 😅 Remember though. Over the 50k threshold is taxed at 40%. Nothing under the 50k. Taxes are taxes but you get an extra 60 quid every 10 you earn over 50k. Not bad really. Get you closer to financial freedom 😊😊

No reason to purposely stay under £50k, you only pay 40% on money over the £50k. So if you earn £50,010 then you only pay 40% on that £10

Unfortunatley our man doesnt seem to know how tax brackets work. He is falling into the common misconception trap that alot of people do where they think the ENTIRE earnings will be taxed higher just becuase they earned $1 in the 40% bracket.

[@RTMgi9]

In easy terms... everything you had before 50k stays the same even if you go over 50k. Its the money above 50k that gets 40% tax. Say you earn 60k 10k gets 40% taxed the rest gets taxed the same way as before

Wish we had a Screwfix equivalent in Qld. Plumbers and electricians can get pretty quick deliveries. But as a Carpenter Builder, fat chance. Electricians can get order morning. Delivered afternoon. And order afternoon, next morning. All free. Plumbers can get within two hours. For a nominal sum. Builders. Sometime whenever for a vast sum. There are couriers that run around. But they are not the sort like you guys. They are all in vans. They go from place to place picking up. Take it back to a depot. And then at some point they may eventually bring it out to your area. In my case they won't even come to my location. They drop off to the nearest Post Office. Some 7K away. If I need certain items quickly for a job, it is go for a drive. Three hours later and I might be back at the job. Different world.
