RE: Calculation of adjusted net income - conflicting guidance
Hello, I have read the above and still want to clarify one thing re pension contributions for the purposes of calculating my adjusted net income re child benefit higher income tax charge. My employer tells me my pensions contributions are from my gross pay (NHS pension scheme). The above states “ Payments to pension schemes that have been made without deduction of tax (a gross payment)” are allowable deductions. Which I can deduct from my gross pay to calculate my adjusted net pay. The high income charge calculator https://www.gov.uk/child-benefit-tax-calculator lists “ pension contributions deducted from your pay (do not include contributions deducted before tax)” as an allowable deduction. These two statements seem to contradict each other. Can you clarify please? Thank you
