UK Personal Allowance


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Can anyone tell me what is 'going to/and when' happen to the personal allowance ... it's 10.6K at present. I read that the government will do-away-with-it for those of us who live abroad (sometime). I had been considering transferring a rental house into my wife's name to reduce tax liability but if PA goes then it is not going to save us a huge amount.

I have just found this .. I think it answers my question ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/expat-money/11272572/Expats-will-keep-their-tax-break.html

It's a bit premature to say that it won't happen. He didn't announce it in December, but better to see what the Chancellor says in the Budget tomorrow.

It's going down, down down down down down - to nada, maybe not this budget but real soon.

"Be Prepared" - Baden Powell

Thanks to Jeff Beck Group for the wording.

Nothing in this years budget about ex-pats losing their allowance.

However the threshold for paying tax has been raised from 10,600 to 11,000 from next April, so that's good newsclap2.gif

So on the new figures a Basic rate tax payer would be about 80GBP better off per year

A higher rate tax payer (and I think quite a few retirees are) would be about 203GBP better off per year....

I think!!

and in 2017 he slaps a surcharge of 300+GBP on cars costing more than 40KGBP. So a 3or4 year old 2nd hand 'nice' car could have a big road tax bill

So I'm not sure that it is a great budget for Middle England. BUT Phew for the time being we keep out tax threshold allowance.
