    yes you may have to give a contribution from your wages towards the debt for about a year. If however you have no spare cash in your wages after paying out priority bills then they may decide to give you a nil tax code which would mean you have your tax included in your wages each pay day and you give that straight to the receiver.

    I hope that helps x

    If your income would increase after you have been declared bankrupt then you will have to notify the official reciever this so that they may adjust your contribution.
