Paradise Papers Leak

There are a few on this thread who have been quick to jump on this statement.
Here is why I'm happy to stand by it.

The poorest do not earn money they are supported by the state. The vat they pay on goods is factored into the amount of benefits they receive. If vat was higher they would receive more benefits. They are not taxed they are subsidised. I make no claim that they shouldn't be, just that to claim someone who doesn't earn any money is taxed cannot be said to be true.
The latest figures show the highest earning 10% paid about a third—34%—of their income in tax. To put that in money, in 2014/15 a typical top 10% household would have got £110,000 in income and benefits, and would have lost about £38,000 of it in taxes of various kinds.
That share has hardly changed in recent years, varying from 33% to 35%.
That share is slightly more than what people on lower incomes pay but it's all much of a muchness. Only the bottom 10% buck the trend: they pay about 47% of their income in tax.

But the top 1% of earners pay 27.5% of all income tax revenue.
So back on topic. If they all fucked off because they can't make any money in off shore funds where the fuck is that 27.5% going to come from?
