I suppose this is a nice problem to have but in the UK there is an effective tax rate of 62% (including national insurance) on earnings between 100 - 120k.
My earnings are flitting around this level and I can keep below it by making pension contributions from my post tax salary but now approaching the end of tax year (April in the UK) I really don't want to earn much more money as it is likely to fall into the 62% tax level.
Also, my employer has reduced the amount paid for additional work, at a time when they need us to do it more than ever.
I used to get paid 500 pounds for an extra amount of work which would be taxed at 42% now it is 200 pounds which will be taxed at 42% or 62% if I go above the 100k.
Would people be willing to do extra work at this taxation level?
I don't need the money and as my spouse is a non earner I can invest money in her name and the income is essentially tax free so it is far easier to earn money under her name by investing in a rental property or income stocks than for me to earn it by working.
