    So higher rate taxpayers also gain from the personal allowance increase.

    Depends on how 40% level gets realigned I guess. It got reduced this year by £2400 when pa went up £1k.
    Would you start 40% tax even lower then?

    Agree, brilliant effort Hamish. I could move around the house and get myself lunch because I knew when I came back you would still be typing. Thanks for all your hard work and allowing me to have lunch on time!
