Please can you explain how the Blind Person's Allowance is applied when you pay tax at the higher rate of 40% and the tax calculation. If you're in receipt of the Blind Person's Allowance what tax should you pay on a salary of £55,000?

Blind Person's Allowance is applied in addition to your yearly Personal Allowance, you can find more information here:
