    Theoretically, could the OP draw £16.6k per annum and pay no tax whatsoever ?
    As above, it's possible to draw that sort of annual sum and pay no income tax whatsoever!  Avoiding all taxes (including VAT, etc) may be a tad more ambitious.... ;)

    Plus 25% is tax free anyway .
    Suggest you reread the posts above and follow the helpful suggestions.
  • Yes, if you have had no other taxable income in the current tax year and won't have in the rest of this tax year then you can take £12,570 (or £11,310 if you have applied for Marriage Allowance) and no tax wil be due.

    You might pay some up front if you take more than £1,048 in one go but you would get it back in due course.
