I think most people would agree with your sentements, but our profession is supposed to be just that.......professional. As a professional, one is assumed to have a modicum of education and common sense and, as such, it is fairly easy to deduce that the country would function even worse if everybody paid only 5% tax. This deduction is not made or cared about by a lot of the population and I would not want to be classified in that category. If people want to leave the UK for good and live in a lower tax regime, fine, but expecting to benefit from lower tax somewhere else and still expecting the benefits of free education, NHS, ambualnce service etc when they spend time in the UK appears, at the very least, selfish.
