The highest paid 3,000 people in the UK pay more income tax than the bottom nine million, according to official Government statistics.
The figures show that the very highest earners - amounting to just under 3,000 people with a declared income above £2.7 million - will contribute 4.2 per cent of the total Government revenue from income tax in the current financial year.
By contrast, Britain’s nine million poorest paid workers contribute less than four per cent of the total income tax receipt.
