That explains it Thank you -
Pay tax on carers allowance in the month of April.
Claiming carers allowance takes me just into the basic rate tax band. Over the year CA currently works out at £317 a month. When I called HMRC with a query the very helpful advisor advised the full £317 goes towards my tax calculation for the month of April. When I suggested in the month of April 5 days of that should be classed as “ the last tax year” and the remainder “this tax year”, he said that sounded logical but not what his “help sheet” suggested. Although this only adds a small amount of additional tax I would appreciate someone explaining my misunderstanding on this as I like to understand the math? Thank you.
