This is economically illiterate. Someone earning £82,000 is paying just shy of £26k a year in income tax and NI.. set to rise. More than £2,000 a month not less than a tenner. Forget fake news. This is a straight up lie and patronising pish.https://twitter.com/UKLabour/status/1201548330049781760 …
Sure. But the taxable population is decreasing as the year goes on. You saying that a new person that takes the job will still pay taxes doesn't affect what I'm saying because at high incomes it's unlikely that this person was unemployed before (unless they chose to be.)

Yes, but you are not getting what I'm saying. The population of high-skilled people only changes in relation to immigration (and these levels are low). When people drop out of the workforce their job can hopefully be filled however the workforce is still minus one tax payer.
