High earner starts at 75k. This is wild and seems very behind the times. I would call 75k barely middle class, not anywhere close to the term “high earner”.
Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. A 45% tax starting so low may end up pushing people out of the country to more favorable tax situations.
We have very different definitions of middle class and high earner.
Spoilers: a deviation of tax from England hasn't yet seen any statistical evidence of economic migration
I highly expect that to continue to be the case. But it will be interesting to watch if there is any net effect.
