He's been quick to tax me on the slight increase in my modest pension, an extra nine quid tax this month, ok only just over a hundred quid more tax a year, but it all adds up. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh to be an ambassador, money for old rope. Also, would be nice to have all the embassy members toadying to you and laughing at all your jokes. Bit like being royalty.

As there’s no increase in state pension while abroad I infer the increase comes from an occupational/private pension. The £9 extra tax per month,assuming you pay standard tax at 20% means you got a £45 per month increase. If that was a slight increase (say 2%?) that would mean your pension was £2250 per month. Is that about right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
