Today, I'm not so much
although I am quite angered at having paid 40% tax on my extremely meagre bonus and having a spot on my face so big that the space shuttle could land on it. Seriously. That Eyjafaffa-whatsit in Iceland has nothing on this spot.
Sad times.

Oh man, it must suck earning so much that you fall within the higher rate tax bracket
I personally get really angry that my wife has to pay higher rate taxes whereas I get away with only paying my normal 20%. I say get away with, most people think of it as just not getting paid as much as her, but I don't.

I earn less than £20k a year
which is why I'm pretty pissed off about paying the higher rate tax on my bonus, which was pretty paltry to start with and now is less than £100. (although I am quite grateful for getting one at all, just annoyed that I've been taxed so much on it)
So shut up.

Why on earth are you paying 40% then?
Surely you can claim that back?

Probably an administrative error.
