Technically I only pay myself a salary of £587/month or something like that, no TAX and I have NI credits towards my state pension still 
At least the money I pay my accountant is well spent, I'd have never known about shit like that!

Absoloutely hate tax.
Saw an email going about offshore before, saying how offshore workers have to pass medicals and random alcohol / drug tests to be able to work offshore.
The money we earn, gets taxed and can go to some alcoholic / heroin addict on the dole. No I had to have a drugs test to earn that money, why doesnt he have one to receive his money that I have contributed to?

Tax is a joke. They keep raising taxes on the middle income, with the true rich dodging taxes through expensive accountants and the poor being scroungers.
Add 9% on top for student loan repayments and that 40% + national insurance 12% + student loan 9% = 61% tax.
For every £1 earnt over the threshold, the person gets 39 pence.
I've probably got that completely wrong

The top earners contribute the vast bulk of HMRC revenue, something like the top 10% pay 90% of all income tax taken.

No you won't, you're only taxed at that rate for the portion which falls inside that bracket. The rest of your pay is taxed the same as its always been.
In addition, the basic allowance has also gone up at the same rate, meaning if you're borderline you're no worse off.
I miss having these issues

I can't believe people still think they will be worse off if they fall into the 40% bracket, I would question how with intelligence like that, you got anywhere near the 40% bracket in the first place.
I know the government have made some terrible decisions but do you really think they are stupid enough to allow there to be certain salaries where people earning less take home more than people earning more

Congratulations, you are roughly the standard one has come to expect from HMRC
From your own website:
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/it.htm
Tax free:
£7475
20%:
£0-35000 ie you pay 20% on earnings between £7476 and £42475
40%:
£35001-£150000 ie 40% on earnings between £42476 and £157475
£34371 comes in to play in the 2012-2013 tax year.

Tax and student loan are both tiered, so it's not a flat 9% and 40% across the board.
There's also a bit more logic involved in NI but I think the thresholds are so big it barely makes a difference so 12% is about right.

NI is tiered so its 12% between the lower and upper thresholds then 2% on amounts over the upper threshold, so in absolute % terms it goes down.

What happens if you earn more than £150k/year, are you exempt from paying tax?
nop anything above the £150k and you pay 50% on it and for every 1 pound over £150k you loose 2 pound of your tax code so if you earn £150,001 then your tax code will be reduced from 7475 to 7473

You 'should' be filling in a self assessment tax return. Also think 100k would be over a certain threshold which means you have to do something extra.
And it is added to your usual income and taxed accordingly at the relevant rates as with PAYE.
Hopefully I'm not spouting shite, can't remember exactly as haven't studied tax in a year or so.
