Freezing things for a long time makes a big difference. Since 2010 there has been a doubling of the number of people, to almost 500,000, paying the additional 45% rate of income tax. That's because it has kicked in at Â£150k for that whole period.

Subtle changes like this can be found throughout the various tax changes made over the last 5 years.

Poll:	With Evans taking 65% in Huddersfield, is the Banter Era over?

To be fair, they also give plenty of loopholes to claw back/reduce for the mega-rich
