OK, I agree the PAYE system is great for those who earn wages&#x2F;salaries. If you earn ~£43+&#x2F;year you are in the 40% bracket and may have to file a tax return, however. That&#x27;s in order to get things like the right amount of tax relief on your retirement savings contributions. The rest of the non-salary &amp; non-income tax system aren&#x27;t any better than any other country, IMO.
