Rather nifty little graph on the BBC showing the composite effect of the NI and income tax changes. Personally, I fall neatly into the pretty much no change dip, boringly. Politically, I'm not happy with a tax change graph where the people who pay more are the poorest, while the rich get £200 per year more. Lame.

Unless something massively unexpected happens, by 2008-9 I will be near the point of maximal benefit. Doesn't half leave a bad taste in the mouth, though.

Indeed. It'd be interesting to see the graph scaled by percentage of the population rather than a linear income scale - by using a linear scale and a highish cutoff it's made to look as though the vast majority will do substantially better, though actually the top half of the income scale must contain a fairly small minority of the population.
