That's irrelevant to most of my points, but if for some reason the UBI or remaining welfare system does depend on income in any way, that also deals very badly

That's irrelevant to most of my points, but if for some reason the UBI or remaining welfare system does depend on income in any way, that also deals very badly with changes during the year. "I'm sorry, our records show that 10 months ago you had a solid income so sod off with your fear of starving in the streets this week". If it doesn't, then coupling tax returns to UBI is unnecessary.
- eru 11y agoYour taxes used to be: f(income) In the new system they would be: f'(income) - basic income No need to wait until the end of the year. That's just when people customarily compare actuals to projections. Before that you get your withholding of tax, and eg monthly payout of the basic income.
