Hi everyone

Thanks to Gordon Brown's change of view on the 10p tax band issue (and a plan to attempt to save his career) anyone who is a normal rate tax payer will get an extra £60 in their September wage packet and then £10 every month following until March 09.

What are you going to spend your's on?

The whole mess makes them all look like a bunch of wuckfitted morons.... anyone could see the impact of the change (they'd bought in the 10p band in the first place ) it was blindingly obvious is was unfair and going to hit the lowest paid single workers (who have to pay the same to heat their lounge/cook their tea) disproportionately
THEN they go borrow a shed load of money, mess around with the tax bandings to make some of those affected better off and some still worse off and inadvertently a whole load of people earning 32k+ even better off with no plan to repay the borrowed money, yet more government debt after Gordon dear sold off the gold reserves to china at $200 when it's now $1000 Then they do more fiddling to show themselves up to be a bunch of F*CKING morons who are so arrogant to assume nobody noticed.... all the while wasting a bunch of money on civil servants to administer the tweaks...

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
I think I'd put the £60 on Labour losing the next election at the bookies

OK. out of system - rant over

There's no need to hide your feelings, barnaby - just say what you mean. :rotfl: :rotfl:

Could someone explain this to a thickie like me please?? :rolleyes:
I was earning £5079 up until 9th August. From 12th August my salary is £7510, will I get anything back? DH earns £28600 will he get anything?

Many thanks, (goes back to play with Lego bricks)

I think you may get just over a tenner pinkpig for your one month you were over the threshold and hubbie should get £60

I'm going to treat me & DS to the cinema for a change instead of it being swallowed up in all the day to day expenses then whatever is left i will put towards my savings.

Enjoy spending it!

I want to say I'm going to treat myself to a Lulu Guinness bag that I saw on QVC earlier, but sadly it will be £60 each of our cards..... then an extra £10 per month for the next 6 months! Boring and practical!;)

If i get this i have decided the £60 will be put towards hopefully spending Christmas in Boston this year. Not very DFW but ithe trip will be around £650 each for my OH and I, so the £60 will make a difference.

I just had a though about this.

Does this rebate get applied after or before you pay your normal tax.

ie If you work OT or get bonuses, will you get the rebate before or after the tax on these is paid.

I know it will only make a small difference either way, but as that well known supermarket says, every little helps.

Maybe I'll put it in the emergency fund, maybe I'll spend, spend, spend - depends what head I have on when it comes!

Can I be dim and ask what happens after April? I didn't really notice the whole 10p tax thing as I had a couple of payrises around the same time, so will we be better off every month from now on?
