Over here in England there has been a big furore over large bonuses being paid to those in banking, ending in the head of RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) foregoing his bonus for this year.

The 50% tax rate over here in England...Laura/Musa,<br /><br />The 50% tax rate over here in England is only for the very richest tax payers and has been in place for a while now. (There have been calls for it to be reduced!) Obviously I don't know what kind of money Richard is earning but as he is residing in New Zealand for such a long period of time he can always opt to pay tax at the NZ rate instead.
