In the UK there's already a higher-than-50% marginal tax rate between £100 and £120k because you lose your personal tax allowance.

Yes! That’s silly and should be fixed (although it’s hard to drum up any sympathy for those poor folks earning only 110K or so).

Edit to clarify: if your salary is £100K and you get a £10K raise, you see almost none of it in your payslip. But if you’re on £120K and get the same raise you get to take a good chunk of it home. That’s what seems silly to me.

It's over 50% at £50k if you have a plan 2 student loan
