    On income in excess of £150,000 the extra tax on dividends is currently 30.6%, so by adding 7.5% across the board results in 38.1%

      I think he would prefer some plants to talk to. At least they don't answer back so can't point out what a moron he is.

      I mean - Camilla or Diana. Which would you choose?

        Given that corp tax is paid, overall taxation level would be nicely close to 50% - something that is expected from Nu Liebor, but certainly did not expect it from Tories who dropped income tax rates to 45% from 50%.
        The tax credit system effectively gave an 'allowance' for the corporation tax paid by the company.

        This has been broken by this new tax, although it is justified by the reduction in the rates of CT, although the major reductions have been in the rates for large companies rather than small ones.

        It would now be tempting by this or a future chancellor to increase this rate so that it may come in the future that dividends are taxed at the normal rates, ie 20% & 40% - I am assuming that the 45% rate will have gone by then.

          Well Diana is probably smellier and more wrinkled now
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Ok, but why is it 30.6%?

              45% rate will be gone, all right, to become 50% after Liebor landslide in 2020, whose first emergency budget will also return corp tax back to 25%.

                The top rate of tax on dividends is currently 37.5% on the GROSS dividend. Take off the 10% tax credit reduces this to 27.5%.

                To get the rate on the NET dividend, divide 27.5% by 0.9 and this gives you 30.555% rounded up to 30.1%

                Eg

                £45,000 net dividend paid in cash = £50,000 gross

                Tax due 27.5% x £50,000 = £13,750

                13,750 / 45,000 = 30.55%

                    This, possibly: New MPs to be handed 10 per cent pay rise worth £7,000 within months - Telegraph

                    Its a shame that MPs aren't public sector workers then they wouldn't be a 1% pay cap
