IMHO, this is a bit unfair on the OP - it sounds from what they say that this was a one off payment from an ex-employer from some sort of share save or bonus scheme, not something that has been happening on a regular basis.

Did you notice the words 'IN GENERAL' within my post.

No one needs your negative input on the forum McKneff

OOh, 15 posts and a prospective master on MSE. Good grief man, get a grip.


It might just spur people on to actually finding out and learning about what and why people are taking their hard earned money from there salaries and wages.

You seem to have quite an attitude problem for a pensioner

McKneff

No attitude at all, only when I am accused of something which I haven't done because someone didn't read my post properly.


Im out, cant do with stroppy newbies....


OP, hope you get your tax sorted, good luck with it.

I don't have the technical knowledge to know about gas & electrical tariffs.
I have always had quotes on the basis of asking for the cheapest unit price. I have been in the situation of using the professionals in this field
and have a great respect for the work they do.
I have largely avoided the issue of phone tariffs, which I can't begin to get my head round because they start ar £12pm just to yak, by having a PAYG but it may not be the cheapest. Once again I have seen the professionals in their field operate, I had very little idea of what they were doing but iit was effective.
I once tried to check the council tax merely as an exercise because they were part of Inland Revenue I had a reasonable discussion with the valuer who was quite happy to give me all the ins and outs. However, even now I couldn't do what a valuer does.
So in general the answer to your question is no but I muddle through and unless you are multi-talented you will have little more idea about these complex areas than any other layman.
