    hi i would increase car maintenance up to £40, i put this and it was ok. remember it has to cover MOT, tyres, service, repairs and they soon mount up

    is the maintenance within the CSA guidelines?

    other than that it looks ok to me

    Once again thanks confused:j the csa payments to my two kids are based on my current wages and the cash payment is the agreement we have come to as hes only 3 months.Could i include dry cleaning?Do you reckon the OR will be ok with the grocery?
    Thanks again.

    do you need dry cleaning for your job? if so £10 is ok. the grocery amount is fine for one person, and you're feeding your kids sometimes as well i imagine. i can't see this being a problem

    Thanks confused so if i have a surplus of 118 a month how much do you think il have to pay to IPA?
    Would it be the tax on a nil tax code??

    Thankyou for your speedy replies.:T

    Hi nudenut, can you just explain the maintenance again, how many children do you have in total and who do they live with you.

    Also i believe the OR may have a problem with your clothing and maintenance, (the amount, not about making some provision)

    The clothing takes into account i have to have spares for when they are at mine.thanks again.

    Then I believe the total amount of maintenance that will be allowed is 25% of income or £270 in line with CSA guidelines
