Rob Moore argues the UK tax system punishes high earners and entrepreneurs. Once you earn over £100,000, you lose your personal allowance, making the next £48,000 taxed at a higher rate.

It's exhausting. So let's say, look, you're going to stay in the country, you're going to work hard, you're going to earn more money. Would you know if you earn £100 more and go from £99,900 to £100,000, for the next £48 grand you don't earn any more? You lose your childhood allowance, you lose your personal allowances. So why would you bother? Well, maybe you want to start a business because apparently you get good tax reliefs in a business. You're going to work hard, you're going to take some risk, you're going to hustle. Isn't the government supposed to support that? Well, there's 20% VAT added on to anything you sell.
