The minimum wage is higher in London than elsewhere and the GLA is increasingly pushing the adoption of the even higher living wage. While the latter has no statutory basis, I wonder if the former would be an argument for a higher threshold within, say, the M25.<BR/><BR/>Another option worth considering would be to make it work like income tax - I'm afraid I don't know the term - so that you only levy 1% on any amount between £175K and £250K, 3% on any amount between £250K and £500K and 4% over £500K.<BR/><BR/>xD.Dave Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607982331690895063noreply@blogger.com
