THIS!^^^^^
Ive spent money thinking I would have it today!
Arse holes! Give us the right info ffs! :evil/mad
You're spending money you don't have? That's kinda your fault, not royal mail. So what would you have done had we not been privatised and given free shares? Do you have a gambling problem or summut. Think you need to learn how to manage your money better or you're gonna have a miserable existence when you retire mate.

Yeah but surely not that much more to allow for 12 percent of the value, its ridiculous! Their already getting 20 percent tax off it, so why the further 12 percent for ni ? That's what I can't understand.
I'll be blunt I can't understand why you cant understand it.

The scheme said at the start if you cashed in between 3 and 5 years you would pay tax and NI.

The 12% is the standard rate for employees earning between £155.01 and £827 a week. You pay 12% NIC on your earnings every week on every £1 or 1p that is over £155.01.

Now whether the Taxation regime in the UK is fair is a different topic altogether, but I would say it isn't when the top 10% of earners pay as a percentage of their earnings less than the bottom 10%. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/br ... re-8039058" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Can't believe how thick some people really are. No wonder there are so many in money problems if they can't grasp the basics of how much tax and NI you pay. I guess if they have sold their shares at this point, says it all really. Maybe he'll work his day off for the next four months to pay for the money he's lost selling early. Lol.

Everyone has different circumstances for selling or keeping shares, what's right for 1 isn't for the next person. I'm paying a fortune for a private rent house so using share money to put towards a deposit for my own place and I'm sure other people have their own reasons. At the end of the day you could get hit by a bus next year and never see the cash :crazy:

People were told on the letter recieved off Equiniti that if the pay cut was missed when processed,It would be in the following weeks pay.
Lads in our office took this as read and 1 even used his monthly bill money to pay for a holiday expecting it to be in his wages on friday 28th.
Plenty of others accross the country in the same boat,So instead of being a smart arse and insulting people,Look into the reasoning why people are kicking up a stink.
Royal Mail and Equiniti needed to correspond better between themselves and give out the right info to people,Then people like you would have to find something else to get on their hight horse about,Cretin.

What a complete pile of s**t, when the top 1% or whatever it is, can't remember the exact percentage, pay 30% of the tax take, you think that's unfair? Give me a break.

So my opinion is a pile of s**t. :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown

Yes, I think it's unfair, in my opinion, everyone should pay the same percentage of tax from their earnings as everyone else, notice I say the percentage, not the total amount. If they earn more they should pay more, total tax, and certainly not less as a percentage of their earning than the lowest earners.

The Top 1% of earners in the UK take home 21% of earning in the UK. They pay 25% of all tax
