Where your TAXES GO.
I have just got a new Tax form from HMRC telling me what I earn in pension and what tax they are taking off me.
It also says where it goes to. I have never seen this before telling us where every pound of our taxes go to. Interesting.
I use very little of some of those. My neighbours get a lot more than I get with their benefits and all Tax Free.

Re: Where your TAXES GO.
What about the postage stamp on the letter you got. What does that come under, maybe Education. Must keep someone employed however. Ah! just noticed Business and Industry. JS

Re: Where your TAXES GO.
By paying the small amount you do under housing then you are not paying enough for your neighbors such as 'hey you' to live the standard he requires. You must do better.
