in Cutting tax
Hopefully posted in the correct thread...

With the new tax year only about 8 weeks away, and the new tax codes coming in how much in real terms is this really going to put extra in our pockets???
Maybe i'm looking at it to simply but going from;
£8105 (2012/13) to £9205(2013/14) would mean £1100 extra per year or £91.66per month in our pay packets.
seems to good to be true ...???

    It is. You are looking at it the wrong way, all it means is that an extra £1100 of your income is not taxed. So for a 20% taxpayer that is £220 or £18.33 a month.

    The personal allowance for next year is 9440 not 9205 - it was altered in the autumn statement
