Tax and benefits changes for the 2013/14 tax year

[mickmyrna]

This is arguably the biggest year of changes since this Government's first in power.
Here’s a round-up of all the imminent changes and some of the important longer-term ones.

Nail in the tory coffin I think. Ian duncan smith reckons he can live on £53 a week. Joker.

Thanks for this good news! - I didn't know these changes would take place. (I only read international news, not local news! :biggrin:) - My income is still less than the (now lower) upper threshold, so I'll actually pay a few hundred pounds less tax this coming year - Woohoo! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

If you subtract all the rises in the cost of living gas, electric, fuel etc you might think twice.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Useful and informative (though still means I'm broke :cwm3:).

Many thanks for posting. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Probably, but at least for the time being, all of that is included in the rent I pay in my flatshare. Let's just hope the landlord doesn't raise the rates anytime soon! :biggrin:
