Good afternoon, I’m new to this site / forum so forgive me for asking a question that may have been asked, but I have on occasion re-visited this topic and tried to research it in the hope of getting a definitive answer over the past twelve years or so.
What can I deduct from my wages?
I understand what gross is but there seems to be no clarification on the CMA website because I have learned that it should read as ‘taxable pay’ which means you can deduct your pension contributions and also the first £12,500 which is *not* subject to tax so for example:
gross pay = £46,500 per year
pension = £6000 per year
non-taxable income = £12,500
so I calculate that my taxable income for CMA calculation would be £28000 and not £40,500 (gross - pension) as I was led to believe for the past twelve years.
And secondly, can I deduct paying £30/month for my sons football team contributions as I have been paying this on top as his mum refused and I didn’t want him missing out.
thanks in advance
