BENEFITS AND TAXATION
Wed 02-Feb-05 07:55 AM |
I seem to have come across a client (Over 65, married) who, until passing away in January, was paying Tax on his Pension income - state pension - (there was no private income).
From the papers I saw yesterday, his taxable income was £9477, and nett taxable, after allowances was £3377 - on that figure he had a bill for £768.81 for the year 2003/2004.
I've Not come across this before - had he got a private pension, that would have been taxed at source. Seems he was sent one of those self assessment forms - it does'nt seem right to me - as far as I can ascertain, his sole income was State pension and DLA, and one of those is'nt taxable.
Any ideas folks.............
