Trigger figure allowances have changed

I realised today that the allowances have changed - some amounts have stayed the same, but many have gone down. The updated info is here, so please use these figures as guidelines when completing your SOA rather than others you may have previously saved from another link. :)

    Hopefully that means they are thinking about it.

    At least they didn't write straight back dismissing it, although the waiting must be very frustrating.

    Rufus,

    These are figures used by HMRC when assessing someone's I&E/SOA for the purpose of determining their ability to pay back tax owed.

    The 'Official Receiver' does generally seem to be a bit more generous than these in their calculations.

    It's been over a month now. The suspense is killing me.

    Thats good to know - the figures seemed a bit tight to me. I put £250 down for houskeeping.
