    still reading the PBR but points of possible interest so far. Since RPI is static, Darling has implied that therefore CTC will not be rising in April :( this is possibly also true of SMP, CB (although this has risen by approx 4% every year for the last 15, so I remain hopeful :)) etc...

    40% tax band held at this years level. (this is called fiscal drag) Implication though is that therefore the personal allowance and 20% bands will still rise.

    Back if anything else seems pertinent...

    edit: NI contributions increase by half a %. Those earning above 20k would feel a loss here...

    actually, compared to a usual rise of 4% that's not so great is it :o
