Andy Burnham £1,301 charge on table for people living in homes worth £271k.

Are you actually saying you turned down a promotion due to the possibility of paying more tax at some point in the future ? Even though you'd actually have a higher take home pay ?

Put your own arm around your own shoulder , walk to a quiet place and then have a quiet word with yourself.

There's a rather celebrated example of this at my final place of work. Lad was doing ok (cyber security, so he's not daft, apparently), was brought into Manager's office and offered promotion which included pay rise which would have taken him into the 40% bracket. None of the technicalities of this was discussed in the interview, but the lad/bloke said he's sleep on it.
Later on he turned it down with no reason but later confided with his team mates that "I'm not taking a promotion to pay more tax, I'll be worse off!".

Or, non-exec director mentioned earlier in the thread (who just liked trying to be clever with weird financial games) proposed changing how I was paid when I was long term working remote from company offices (working and living in France). He really seriously proposed that, as he traveled to France several times a year we'd meet somewhere and he'd give me a suitcase full of cash. He knew the exact threshold for company cash withdrawal from banks that would not raise questions so they'd withdraw the cash, I'd meet him in an agreed car park in France and I'd get a suitcase full of cash!

I declined and shortly afterwards decided it was no longer the company I was a director of before resigning directorship and moving to France.

One has to ask, what became of said company?
