Cohabiting Income Tax
Comments
-
the answer to the general question is : as far as income tax is concerned, cohabiting will make no difference at all.1

gross income is before tax or anything else is deducted. So she needs to take that up with her employer.Tangiers said:
Her gross income seems to be less.sheramber said:I she doesn't have a payslip how does she know how much tax is being deducted.?
She will have other deductions- NIC, pension?,
Yes, but NIC would have remained the same (this goes back months - before the announced rise). No pension as far as I know.
As I said in the first instance, I couldn't go into specifics, I just wanted to ask a general question.0 -
I think the OP is getting gross and net confused they said earlier "Currently, the only way she finds out how much she has been paid is by phoning her bank on pay day." The bank is only going to know the net pay.sheramber said:

Until the Op can come up with some actual details from a payslip there is no way of knowing what is happening.1 -
Actually, I was just typing in a rush and typed the wrong term by mistake.

Of course I meant 'net', that is the only figure she could get from her bank account.
Anyway, thanks for all the input - I got the answer I needed.1
