Tier 1 - Travel to Other UK locations

arsenalsri,

According to listentotaxman.com after April 2008 - the basic 10% rate is going to be abolished and the 22% will drop to 20%. This means that the after tax income will be higher. I dont think it will significantly reduce the minimal required income level, but I guess we will see.

Another edit to the original post. I have increased the Rent, Council Tax, Transport, and Groceries etc figures according to new info. I actually checked property sites and it seems like the new number is more realistic than the previous 700 I had there. As I mentioned - you can get away with quite ...

changes done

Ok, I have edited my original post. I increased the Utility bill by 20% and added the TV licence charge (i used the monthly charge of 12 pound as this is how all my other number work). This actually moved the minium wage for a single person up to 22k from 20k. This minimal wage is based on barely ma...
