Thanks Bruno, I'll have a look at that tomorrow. The P60s are in the filing cabinet in Caitlin's room, so can't get them tonight.

ps it's not in bands, there is a reduction ratio :cool:
make sure you remind them/take off yourself the £100 thing

For some reason, the posts from Sami's onwards haven't got thanks buttons, so I can't thank you.

Thank you though

From what you're all saying, it sounds like it won't make an ounce of difference then! Oh well, never mind! At least I won't get myself excited about a potential lump sum as it doesn't sound very likely at all!!

you might choppy , basically its if you earn more than £x then they reduce your entitlement by y% of £x

In summary though, at the low-household-income end you end up getting get variable WTC, but for a wide spread of incomes from a middling number upwards, it's either one level of CTC or another or none at all, and no WTC. So it might as well be banded, and the phrase makes more sense than "reduction ratio"

Sami, so then why does my stupid renewal form tell me that I would get the same credits if our household income stayed above around £25k and under £50k (and don't need to ring them to update if it's in this range)? The whole thing confuses me and I'm a pretty maths-y person . Anyway, more a rhetorical person as I'm off to bed .

For those that frequent theatres... Is it better to be at the back on the floor or on the lower tier?

A little glimmer of hope

Krystal - I'd go for lower tier. I think that slightly higher up gives a much better view.

front half of lower tier is infinitely better than back half of floor IMO
