So therefore you can't raise the funds to remove half the country from taxation.

Raise other taxes then.
Maybe put a 60% tax on all income above 250k a year or thereabouts.
It would be the same as Denmark then.

You're just guessing with numbers here
Taxing a relatively small number of people earning over £250K at 60% will not make up for removing millions of people from taxation altogether.

Plus of course people on £250K p.a. probably already employ accountants to help to minimise their exposure in the first place.

Your numbers, such as they are, don't add up.

They wouldn't would they.
It is only something that took 15 seconds to think up.
I didn't expect a full cost analysis.
If it really could increase the defecit I'd not do it.

We agree.
