Anyone knows what would be MIF for next financial year?
Current one is £1556.30.

Will it go up inline with other increases (6.7%) to £1660ish?
Some councils which use MIF for Council Tax reduction have it as £1640ish.
So I think it would be somewhere in the region £1640-1660 but can't find any definitive answer.

As my start up year is ending, I am trying to work out if we will get any help.

    The standard individual MIF is 35 hours at NLW. From April this will be £12.21, multiplied by 35 hours equals a individual  MIF of £1851.85 per month. 
     Obviously some people will have a different MIF depending upon their circumstances

    less tax and NI as paid by a self-employed person, as the MIF is a net amount, not gross.

    Hmm, I kind of failed miserably with my earlier post. 
    Apologies to the OP for giving incorrect information and thanks to both of you who corrected my error.
