You are paying much more in tax than you think you are What Everyone  Needs to Know About Tax takes an entertaining and informative look at  the UK tax system in all its glory to show you just how much you pay,  how the money is collected and how it affects ordinary people every day.  Giving context to recent controversies including the Panama Papers, tax  avoidance by multinationals, Brexit and more, this book provides a  straightforward explanation of tax and the policy behind it for  non-specialists no accounting or legal knowledge is required. The  system's underlying logic is illustrated through three 'golden rules'  that explain many of the UK tax regime's oddities, and the discussion  focuses on the way things are rather than utopian ideas about how they  might be. Case studies show how the VAT on a plumber's bill all adds up;  why fraudsters made a movie to throw HMRC off their scent; how a  wealthy couple can pay so little tax on a six-figure income; and the way  tracing the money you paid for your iPad sheds light why the EU is  demanding Apple pay billions extra in tax. Ever the political  battlefield, tax is too important for you to rely on media hype for  information. It affects everyone, every day, and it pays for voters and  taxpayers to know more. This book leaves aside technical detail and the  arcana of the tax code to give you a real-world look at how tax works. *  Learn about the many ways that the tax system separates us from our  money * Discover how Brexit could change the way we pay taxes *  Understand how changing tax policy affects people's everyday lives * See  through the rhetoric surrounding controversies in the media With tax,  we have to admit that there are no easy answers. No one enjoys paying  them, but without them, the Government would shut down. Seeing through  politicians' cant and superficial press coverage is critical for your  ability to make the decisions that benefit you; What Everyone Needs to  Know About Tax gives you the background and foundational knowledge you  need to be a well-informed taxpayer.
