I don't know for sure . I think it is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate of inflation in the previous September. And that was 1.2%, so I think that is what we should be getting.

I think Easter Bunny's response sounds quite reasonable to me. What I would like to know when we will receive letters confirming this. I can't remember. I need to talk to HRMC on how I would like my tax code distributed, my annual event!!

Thanks
