Sounds like we're in much the same boat - no way I could've got through last year without hitting 40%. Might stand a chance this year though.Originally posted by Gravy Train View PostThat's fine if you're living costs are ok - i've taken out around the 40k mark and am running on empty in my personal account towards the end of my financial year (although there's plenty left in the business account) - gonna take some smart accounting to make sure i can take out the maximum without going over the higher rate limit.
And for those asking for more options - this poll doesn't apply to you

Not enough options. I signed on a few weeks ago for the first time and don't pay tax any more. In fact my council tax is paid for me now. Hurrah for outsourcing, open-door immigration and fast track wheezers. The dole or tax credits is the future.
