They are not trying to tax the beaters as such. They couldn't care less about your £30 or whatever it is. But by taxing you they are keeping an eye on what the large estate owners are taking out in cash for beaters.

 

So a land owner who pays say £10k on beaters wages a year, could take out £20k cash and say its for his beaters.. That's £10k cash, tax free for his back pocket and £10k for the beaters. By taxing beaters the tax man is keeping a close eye on Mr estate owner...

 

That's my take on it anyhow.

 

Besides, the shoot should be soaking it up, so say your usual wage is £30. They should now be giving you £35 pre tax and taking £5 off. If the estate is making the beaters take the hit, then that's a bit unfair.
