***HMRC New Powers Are Insidiuos*** ~ Attention: Important Information!
It is a common misconception that men & women are legally obligated to pay income tax. In reality, income tax was first introduced in Britain in 1799 by Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger.
It was originally a temporary measure to help fund Britain’s war against Napoleonic France. The initial tax applied to incomes over £60 per year and had a top rate of 10% on incomes above £200.
Here’s a brief timeline of key moments:
• 1799 – First introduction by Pitt the Younger.
• 1802 – Abolished by Henry Addington after the Treaty of Amiens (temporary peace).
• 1803 – Reintroduced when war resumed.
• 1816 – Repealed again after the Napoleonic Wars.
• 1842 – Permanently reintroduced by Sir Robert Peel, marking the start of the modern UK income tax system.
So while 1799 marks the first introduction, 1842 is when income tax became a lasting feature of the UK’s fiscal system.
Throughout the years, discussions surrounding the legitimacy and ethical implications of income tax have intensified.
Critics argue that the tax system disproportionately burdens citizens and question the transparency of how tax revenues are utilized by the government.
Furthermore, there are ongoing debates about the historical context and motivations for tax collection, prompting some to label it a government-run scheme rather than a civic duty.
This video delves deeper into the insiduos implications that the forth coming measures combined with the Digital ID Card… will have on society and men & women as a whole.
