without disability elements
on £10660 p/a clear, approx £13300 gross p/a allowing 20% tax and NI
approx £4800 p/a or approx £90 per week
looks like your about £8 a week short of this, if the incomes correct. It may be your paying off an overpayment from previous years ?.I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0 -
