NHS Tax Credit Exemption Certificate.

Been searching all day and cannot find a definate answer - has the threash-hold increased for tax year 2010/2011 or is it still £15276?

Really, really need dental work (prob 3 crowns replacing as been in 13 years) but cannot afford the treatment, but income for both of us (my wife is part time self employed) is just over £15,500.

Thanks in advance

    Are you registered with an NHS dentist? The max you would pay is £198 for as much work as you need doing.

    I feel your pain. We're a bit skint at the moment and I've been ignoring a niggly pain in a bottom tooth, then a filling fell out of a top tooth this morning, so I'm going to have to pay and get it sorted :(
    Here I go again on my own....

    My husband is registered with NHS dentist and his bill in total will be £324 is the amount your saying (£198) only if your on benefits or as a rule?? would appreciate your comments on this as I feel he has paid way too much.

    Interesting I thought that but my OH paid £324 with NHS dentist and my SIL who is a dental nurse says its not capped, but maybe thats just in Scotland??

    EDIT Just found out capped rate in Scotland for NHS treatment is £384 damn
