Tech

Sacrificed

Well well, it looks as if someone in the Treasury has finally wised up to the inequality of salary sacrifice.

The Treasury says it is closing down the scheme because it has benefited too many higher rate tax payers (who saved proportionately more). It plans to shift the focus on improving internet access for the unemployed and pensioners.

Let's hope this new focus on bridging the "digital divide" actually hits the mark instead of giving discounts to the rich once more.
