Oh bugger, just worked out my new monthly income......

[whoops]

and I'm £7 worse off now because of the bl@@dy 10p tax thing which totals over £75 for the year

I don't really understand this 10p tax thing
I'm ignorant and usually just ignore these things, what does it mean?

if you earn less than £15k you will now pay more thax and have less NET income (with the same gross salary)

If you earn more than £15k you will have more money in your pay packet until about £42k i think then its about the same (i think)

oh fecking marvellous, just in time for me to drop to part time and go on matty

I thought it had been scraped now?

Yes, that's the point, scrapping the 10p tax band makes people worse off

I thought it was something like that nannyL - I don't understand why they make us lower earners suffer, we can least afford it.
