Wages, salary and where family money comes from, sentence 2
Before pay reaches the bank, tax and pension money is taken off: Dad's payslip says he earned £2,500 but £2,000 arrived, because £500 went on tax, which pays for schools, hospitals and roads; what is left is called take-home pay.
Who acts: pay, payslip, money, tax · What happens: reach, take off, say, earn, arrive, go · To what, where: bank, money, tax, home pay · Speech: someone speaks here
