Hi,
My OH did not work in 2014 - she received Jobseeker's Benefit only for the qualifying months and did not get Jobseeker's Allowance. We are jointly assessed.
On our balancing statement for 2014, her PAYE tax credit was reduced. Per online info, it looks like this is to allow for tax due on JB - but the full amount of JB was nevertheless included as income for the joint assessment.
Can anyone confirm if this calculation is correct - both reducing the credit and taxing the full JB amount? This has resulted in a significant underpayment which we are now facing so I'm just looking for insight ahead of tackling Revenue for an explanation, thanks...
