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?
