50% tax

[blancspa]

Hello
What I have heard in a TV today is that earnings above £150 000 will be subjected to 50% income tax in UK. Is that right? Can anyone confirm that? How does it sound ?

yeah apparantly the innocent hard working high earners are to blame for the mess we're in, and have to pay tens of thousand a yeah more to pay for the mess .... does make you feel better to see Fred Goodwin on a 700k a year pension
