I'd agree with the first para, but my recollection is that the increasing rates of non-dependant deductions apply to people in remunerative work, based on their gross income.
Iirc, the lowest rate applies to someone not in remunerative work and not receiving income support, £7.40 when I last checked.
That's correct - the savings interest can only be added to the gross earnings figure. If gross earnings are disregarded (as in the case of non-dependents in non-remunerative work) or there isn't an earned income then the savings interest does not affect the deduction.0 -
I'm very grateful for the replies and adviced here, an excellent example of how useful being a member of this forum can be :T0
