    small print...

    The 14.5% FRS rate for IT consultancy is confirmed - great!

    In the small print it mentions that the income tax band thresholds will be reduced by ~£2500 for the basic rate. I.e. the amount of divis you can pay before the extra 22.5% tax kicks in will be less (by around £1500)

    I knew there'd be something!
    It's about time I changed this sig...

      Hopefully the scum-bag civil savants that pushed for it, if they can't be fired, moved to less demanding positions. Like what they're doing at the MOD currently.

          Yes, but the gap will be less & the experience might outweigh the extra cost for a few head teachers.

            Good point. It sounds like a plan.

                  1.94 To ensure that support will be focused on those on low and
                  middle incomes the Government will reduce the level of the basic
                  rate limit. The National Insurance Upper Earnings/Profit Limit will
                  also be reduced to keep it aligned with the income tax higher rate
                  threshold. Based on current Retail Prices Index (RPI) forecasts the basic rate
                  limit will be reduced by £2,500 and the higher rate threshold by £1,650
                  below plans the Government inherited. Exact figures will be confirmed in the
                  autumn. These changes will mean that higher rate-taxpayers will not benefit
                  from this measure.
