Just got my P60. I paid £10,784.04 in Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions in FY 2006/7.

I do not consider this value for money.

Unmarried, employed, homeowner/renting-own-place people who (thankfully) haven't spawned any brats for the rest of the country to take responsibility for get zero value for money.

I'd like to declare my independence!

Yup, great innit? And this doesn't even include the cost of collecting the bins, or upkeep of the roads which are the main public services I use.

£59 a month council tax on top (£708 a year), not to mention all the tax I pay on my ciggies - £3.98 on a £4.90 pack times 2 packs a day makes £2,905.40 a year! Then there's excise duty on booze and VAT and whatever else they think of next...

£59 a month? You're getting off lightly. £105 here - single person with the 25% discount.

Do they have solid gold wheelie bins round your way or something?!!?

Sheesh! My council tax is almost £100 and I'm in band A!
