Originally posted by GJABS View PostJust because dividend tax, or NI, is not ring-fenced by statute, does not mean politicians cannot regard them to be so informally.

Originally posted by elsergiovolador View PostIt would be a rubbish question if dividend tax was ring-fenced, but it is not. So the situation is that a person that pays tax with one label gets different treatment from a person paying the same tax with another label.

But the fact is that the entrepreneur pays much more, even if % is lower.
I am not going to brag how long I've been doing this.

It's not based on the same rules.
Tell me, how long have you been running a business?

This creates a situation where one pound is not equal one pound and could uproot our currency.
