Hello everyone, I went through a divorce recently and received a letter from the CMS stating how much I should pay.
They based their calculations based on the 28990£ annual income they received from HMRC, which is for some reason wrong as my income is around 44k per annum. My question is what should I do?
also, I was planning to get a car through the NHS fleet salary sacrifice scheme, which means approximately 400£ will be deducted from my gross salary each month before tax, how would this affect my CMS payments?
thanks in advance
Hi,
Perhaps your last tax year income was £28k and they went off those records? CMS advise that if your income drops or increases by 25% then you should inform them.
Am not 100% sure about the car scheme, but have comes across cases where a parent had to pay more maintenance because of company car scheme!
I recommend this support group for paying parents. Very useful: https://facebook.com/groups/239699060076601/
