Fecks sake - it's like National Insurance #3 - by 2019 the combined rate will be 7% within 2 years.

So, combined tax take will now be:

45% (income tax) + 2% (employee NIC) + 13.8% (employer NIC) + 3%+4% (new NICs) = 68%!

And that does not factor in loss of tax free allowance.

Jeez, where do we start? Almost every figure you quote is wrong or massively exaggerated (e.g. the 45% rate doesn't kick in until you earn (or declare ) over £150k.)

You are free to leave whenever you wish. Your business could be operated from almost anywhere in the World, choosing Brum in post Brexit Tory Britain seems like a bad idea.

Cyprus is geared up for offshore low(ish) tax take, and has a very strong Russian presence too.

In the olden days employers took their responsibilities to their employees seriously and as a result had a workforce they could rely on for their working lives.

If you don't want your employees to stick around then either put them all on zero hours contracts, make them self-employed or bugger off to another country.
