100% training tax !
Yes, that's right, there is a 100% tax on self improvement training. So if your boss won't pay for training and you want to improve yourself, unless the training is "essential" (as in you CANNOT do your job without it) then it's not tax deductable.
By the time you add up VAT, income tax, & national insurance, a private individual pays near enough 100% tax on top of what an employer would pay !
So as long as that situation remains, any talk of supporting development is so much more Gordon speak - empty waffle and promises of what you already have.
