Tax rebate 2007/08

Can someone remind me:

Most people got a tax rebate (lump sum + a change to their monthly tax allowance)

I think this was about £60 but I can't remember.

Does this stop as of 4 April 2009 and we revert back to our original tax codes, effectively having a tax rise?

What impact will it have - i.e. how much of a rise will happen?

I am surprised it has not hit the news.

    It was last tax year - 2008/9

    Basic rate taxpayers got £60 lump sum in September and personal allowance went from $5435 to £6035

    No this year's personal allowance is £6475 so you will pay less tax.

    None.

    There is nothing to report. The personal allowances for this tax year were announced some time ago.
