There is this dialogue from Dragons' Den S10E01:
— So what's your projected turnover?
— We're going to finish this year at £200,000. So net profit is going to be £60,000.
— Will you have taken a wage out of that?
— I won't have.
— Right, OK. So you've got a company projected to make a maximum of £60,000, without you taking a wage, and you've valued the company at two million quid.
My question is: what difference would it make if we changed Will you have taken to Will you take or Have you taken? What is there that requires the use of Future Perfect Tense in this context? Why was the response 'I won't have" rather than 'I won't'?.
