in Cutting tax
Hi,
I was 65 about half way through the tax year 2010/2011. Am I entitled to the additional personal allowance for:
1) The whole 2010/2011 tax year.
2) Pro-rata from when I was 65.
3) Not until the start of the current tax year 2011/2012.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
It sounded like good news, but unfortunately I did not realise that the additional personal allowance does not apply if your earnings are over £28K in the tax year.
