nevsm Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Not really sure how useful these on a standalone basis are as there are so many deductions and offsets ,and NI and Medicare, VAT and GST are so different to give an overall picture of individuals tax liability.

I advise you to try and get a job before you get back, things are getting pretty desperate here, it doesn't mean that the uk isn't a great country to live in, it is, but............... Australia is better for jobs at present, its a pointless discussion, its like saying the weathers better in the uk, it isn't, its not something to be stressed about, its just a fact, not saying your stressed. Best of luck with what you do, your lucky you can choose to live in either one of the two best countries in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yes it definitely seems to depend on what you do and where you live, which obviously is the case anywhere.

Your right chris it definately depends on where you live in Ireland i have read somewhere that unemployment is 13% and in areas of the North east and Yorkshire its nearly 10%, whereas in certain areas down south its about 5%, but its not the unemployment thats just the problem, most places and businesses are down sizing and not setting people on, but it won't be like this for ever and the uk employs about 30 million people which is nearly 50% more than the whole of Australias population, so its not all bad, just not great at present if you are out of work.
