In the UK there is a crazy band between £100k and £125k where for each two pounds above £100k you lose one pound from your personal allowance (personal allowance is £12.5k).
The effective tax rate for this is 60% then it carries on at the regular 40%
Always has struck me as odd.
Never paid this rate myself because I don't get paid enough. Apparently it disincentives doctors from doing overtime.
They may not watch enough sport to put a name to the big eared crisp thief.
