Age allowances not increased

Age allowances not increased

Didn't find your answer?

I've only just noticed (while checking a client's P2) that, when the Personal Allowance was increased by £600, the Age Allowances and income limit were NOT changed. Consequently, the income at which you lose all age allowance has come down by £1110.

So if your income is, say, £20,000 and you are 64 or less, you are suddenly £120 better off.
But if your income is £20,000 and you are 65 or more, you gain nothing.
So no hand-outs for the lowest-paid tax-payers OR the older tax-payers.

Or am I missing something?
