Average wage is about £22K, isn't it? Average income tax paid on that can't be more than about £3K.

If they've paid an effectrive rate of 10% then it doesn't sound like they have to me

Someone paying £1million is paying an awful lot of £3Ks.

Actually 333.3 times.

Someone being paid £10m is being paid an awful lot of £22,000s.
Actually 454.5 times.
