Spot on, the more you have paid in income tax and national insurance contributions during your working life, the less income tax you should be paying in retirement.

It used to be a case of the harder you worked for a living, the better off you would be in retirement, but today, thanks to many increases and additions in the benefit system, non paying of council tax etc, perks, the opposite is now the case!

Why work for a living with a employer, when you can now live on the benefit system and have a side line in selling drugs, tax free goods on the internet etc as is the case of many now?
