Hi,

I'm getting myself very confused over adjusted net income and the helpline, well.. isn't so much a helpline!! 

Let's say for ease, the salary is £80,000. 

Car on salary sacrifice scheme is £850 a month. On the P11D is says 'amount paid by employee for use of car' - £10,500. 

Pension contributions are 7.5%

 Medical insurance is £50 a month. 


Does this take us under the threshold for child benefit? 

Thank you

    HMRC self assessment tax system via the Government Gateway will calculate it for you.

    Thank you - I don’t currently claim so this is more a forward look to see if it would be worth our while 🙈

  • You need to establish what method of tax relief you get on your pension contributions - salary sacrifice, net pay or relief at source?

    What is the taxable benefit of the car? Not convinced your employer is correct to say you paid £10,500 for use of the car.

    Do you have any savings income such as interest, dividends?

    Pension and car both salary sacrifice. 

    Pension is paid in the ‘income’ column and I think employer pays at their end? 

    Car is shown in the deduction column. 

    I think the £10,500 is for the year?

    You will have a benefit in kind charge added to your income. 

    Is there an amount shown in your code number for BIK?

    Not that I can see anywhere on the P11D?

    I think your employer has mucked up the P11D. What is the £10,500 in relation to - hopefully not the amount of salary sacrifice to actually get the car?

    Interesting. 

    This is a cropped image of the part it details the £10,500.

    I think this is the yearly cost of the car. We pay £878.83 in salary sacrifice each month which multiplied by 12 is the £10,545.

    Is there an amount against BiK  in your code number?
