Site inaccuracies

Is there any way to get incorrect info contained in the weekly email corrected? This week's reply to the question of the week about tax allowances was incorrect and misleading. It is all very well pointing it out on a forum but there should be a fast track way of bringing it to the attention of the administrators so that the info can be corrected next week.

What is wrong with the information? Without stating what is wrong, the forum team won't be able to pick it up.

They stated that the age related (65+ in this case) increases to the personal allowance only apply from the first tax year after the tax year in which a person reaches 65, when in fact you get the increase in the tax year that you hit 65+.

I noticed this too and sent an email to the address given in the email to suggest future questions of the week - not entirely the correct place to go to perhaps, but I thought this would mean it would be more likely to reach the specific people who wrote the original response to the question.

It says on most site articles this?

Spotted out of date info/broken links?

Email [EMAIL="brokenlink@moneysavingexpert.com"]brokenlink@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL] to let us know

So if that is the correct way to contact, then perhaps that should really be put on the bottom of the email as well?

It really is a bit unclear....

Unfortunately the correction is still wrong.

MSE Guy now says;

MSE Guy's A. Your new allowance/tax code applies from the day you turn 65.

It should be - "Your increased personal allowance applies from the 6th April in the tax year you turn 65."
