in Housing benefit help
Hi all,

I've been looking over the internet for the answer to my question but can't find anything so hoping somebody on MSE may be able to help. :)

I've just entered into a salary sacrifice scheme at work and the deductions will start at the end of this month, my question is will my HB and TC be assessed based on my salary before or after the SS? The deduction will happen before tax & NI if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance

    Why a pm, the answer is very likely a help to other people on this thread.

    I always get a bit suss when this happens.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    My gut feeling is 'before' otherwise the tax payer would be funding your private pension by giving you more HB if you see what I mean.

    Sorry, only just seen this. The reason I sent the PM was because I was (and unfortunately still am) going through an appeal which I have been told by the officer dealing with it that I will win. There are personal financial information and other stuff concerning the case that I didn't feel comfortable sharing to the masses at least until the appeal has been decided. Once I have a formal decision, I'll be more than happy to provide case law etc on the open boards.

    My apologies then Alleycat, there are often people trying to drum up business after seeing some posts, please be careful posting any personal information in a pm anyway.

    best regards
