I'm mulling over dropping from 40 down to 30 hours a week, does anyone know how much less tax you'll pay as i belive theres a thresh hold where if your below it it drops you into a different tax band?

You will pay the same rate of tax, just on less money.

Yep, there used to be a 10% tax band until Brown did away with it last year. Now you'll be paying 20% on anything up to something like 35k.

Didn't it work out that those on less than about £15k were actually worse off with the new tax banding and those earning more weren't really affected? I can't really remember now...

Outrageous stunt'

Mr Clegg told the BBC earlier : "Over five million of the poorest people, it's estimated with incomes between £5,000 and £18,000, are suddenly finding their starting rate of tax is doubling, why?

"So Gordon Brown could offer a 2p cut in the rate from 22p to 20p for the following day's headlines. I think that is an outrageous political stunt at the cost of the poorest in British society."

Hi, here are a couple of salary calculators which will tell you how much tax & national insurance you will pay.
