Re: Tim, get real.
Seeing as it is quite possible to set up schemes where you can pay as little as 1% income tax then I would suspect most people on here are personally paying a lot more than they are required to pay.
What most people are paying is the amount that they would be expected to pay without using tax vehicles, trusts and other schemes. There are many, sometimes easy, ways to avoid paying the full expected package of tax. Most people don't go seeking them out though.
