How much tax does the UK collect?
The UK government collects billions in taxes each year to fund public services like the NHS, schools, and infrastructure. While Chris Rokos's £330 million contribution is substantial, it's a small fraction of the total. The overall tax burden is spread across millions of individuals and businesses through various taxes like income tax, VAT, and corporation tax.
