Nobody wants to say it out loud, but here it is: Britain has no path to growth until the tax burden is reversed. 2026 is shaping up to be a lost year. Corporation tax at 25%. Dividend tax rising again. Frozen thresholds dragging millions into higher bands. Business rates exploding. Capital gains punishments that kill investment. A Budget built around squeezing the productive to fund the dependent. Then we wonder why investment is collapsing, why founders are leaving, why small businesses are dying, and why the economy is flatlining. This is not a mystery. You cannot tax your way to prosperity. You cannot build growth by punishing the people who create it. You cannot have innovation in a climate where taking risks feels like a trap. Britain is not running out of talent. It is running out of incentives to stay and build. If the government wants a future with jobs, investment, and entrepreneurship, it must stop treating success as a revenue source and start treating it as a national asset. Reverse the tax burden. Unlock growth. Or accept that Britain is heading for another decade of decline. There is no third option.

This explains a bit about why some like me have had enough of this government particularly. It’s not about not wanting to pay more tax, it’s about the now relentless attack on those that put everything on the line to start a business - creating jobs, growth and wealth on this island. Having your own business is 24/7 - nobody is there to pick up the pieces if it all fails. When you’re awake, you’re at work - it follows you about in your brain. It’s brutal. And the truth is, most businesses fail. Some end it all as a result. We should be encouraging people to start their own business, supporting them, not abusing them for the benefit of those that can’t be arsed, or are bitter about anyone trying. Ambition is leaving, along with current wealth and future wealth. That impacts everyone badly. Even eventually the lazy, ‘bash the rich’ lemmings. Labour have to go, even for the benefit of the idiots that vote for them. They just don’t realise it yet.

Ten years ago, a small business owner taking a £100k dividend could pay as little as £2,500 in personal tax if structured efficiently under the old dividend tax system. Today in 2025, they’re paying £21,250. Next year, under Labour’s new budget, they’ll pay over £23,000. And that’s after the company has already paid 25% corporation tax on the profits used to fund that dividend. In a decade, we’ve gone from a manageable tax bill to one where the state takes nearly a quarter of the dividend on top of corporation tax before the owner sees a penny. That’s a nearly 800% increase in personal tax on the same £100k. All for the crime of running a business in Britain. - This is why entrepreneurship is dying here. - This is why people aren’t scaling. - This is why founders are taking their companies and jobs abroad. If you want growth, stop treating business owners like a bottomless ATM. Britain needs entrepreneurs, not policies that punish them for succeeding.
