Want to put any numbers to this or is it just better as a meaningless slogan? The reality is a small number of (whatever you define extremely wealthy) people who may get WFA,
How many employees do you have? And don't you think that when the next pay review comes round, you'll be likely to restrict their pay rise because of the extra NIC you will be paying? Or are you going to take the hit in full out of your profits?
How do you define wealthy? What's the cut off? What if I earn only a small salary but win the lottery or a large bet or someone gifts me a house? You see how easy it is to do this sort of thing?
What they’ve never had a cost rise before? Did you miss the last corporation tax rises?
Damn you! I think that's a very sensible idea, just like the internet packages for OAPs and other groups. It would also be easy to do as it would be the suppliers problem to regulate the new tarrif. If it came with insulation and energy efficiency updates that would be even better. We already accept this in many areas such as ticket prices and insurance. Some people on PIP also get WFA so would make that easier too.
For others reference, this is your response to the quite widely proposed suggestion that, to raise tax, US tech/MNCs should be targeted.
All Starmer is doing , is turning the country in to a police state , no more free speech , political prisoners, it feels more like the USSR than the UK , if you are happy with that , then you all fool you ,
Yes, it's my response to that part. I totally agree with @jcdenton08 on this point but the fact that successive governments haven't suggest it's neither easy, nor cost effective. Unless we're in for a surprise tomorrow.
Britain is the worlds biggest enabler of tax evasion and avoidance. We have ‘single-handedly’ done more to undermine world’s tax system than any other nation, of course we could do something about it, we just choose not to.

I suggested it way earlier in either this thread or the meltdown one. It's a bit hard to keep track of both plus their offshoots. It feels proportional. People with bigger houses have bigger bills but, once you hit state retirement age, they're calculated on a lower tariff. It's not much different to concession football tickets in many ways but passes the burden on to the supplier. Of course, they might increase the tariff on the rest of us but we could at least rest easy that it was, in a way, a contribution to retirement.
It's imaginative thinking like this that we need more of. It would not be a tax and those paying more would know exactly what they were paying more for. That would be very difficult to argue against going on the evidence of this thread. You could see that as a social responsibility/obligation. We already have a green levy on our energy bills, no idea how much that raises or where it is spent.
I actually think this is the biggest problem they face to date. It's been a shocking cover up from the start of this terrible incident and undermines the public's trust in the law and the Government. Yvette Cooper will be accused of lying to MPs, which is the big thing they accused the Tories of. They needed to come in and be whiter and whiter, and instead they've been just as bad. Integrity is a crucial reason why they got voted in.This is going to be a potential headache for the government.
People were correctly sent to jail, but I imagine we will see a lot of appeals over the next few weeks.

*Im not defending rioters.
It's just me.
But I'm assuming there was an element of tongue-in-cheek.
