Yep, you are totally correct Nigel someone has too pay and the Government has to get the money from somewhere. Sometimes they get it interest on money they loan overseas as well.
Here is a very old (2012) tax graph for different countries, and the percentage they use to from company tax and personal tax.

I just thought it interesting where different countries get their money to pay for these things to support healthcar and transport, roads , schools etc.

Anyway, thanks everyone for their thoughts and taking part. I think it is good to give all sides of a subject, as it enlights us all.

Thanks Russ for the topic and Hawk too for getting me to think lol.
