Last week… • You all did a really good job on working out your own budgets • This is called a personal budget • What do you think a national budget is?
Tax and the National Budget • Guess how much the UK Government has to spend this year? £700,000,000,000!!!!!!!!! (that’s 700 Billion pounds!)
Public Spending and Taxes • The Government is in charge of public spending… • We pay for it through taxes… • Business Tax • Income Tax • Value Added Tax (VAT) • Council Tax
How much would one operation cost in a hospital? How is it paid for?
5 Groups…. • Your group: • NHS • Education • Defence (the army etc.) • Welfare (Benefits etc.) • Pensions
On the paper.. • Discuss how important your service is in the UK and what percentage of the total budget should be spent on you.
What do you think? • Healthcare • Welfare • Education • Defence • Pensions = 100%?
