RE: Rent a Room scheme vs income tax
Hi,
As per your query and previous question, only once income exceeds the £7,500 threshold would income tax become liable, so only income above £7,500 would arise to student loan repayments in line with all general income.
As per the Rent a room relief guidance here: Rent a room in your home, the allowance is halved to £3,750 if shared with someone else, so in theory, income above this amount would generate student loan repayments.
As per Rent a room in your home Rent, bills and tax, you may charge a specific amount for utility bills, however, as they would receive a portion of the costs back, they would declare the total amount (re-imbursement would take place separately).
Thank you. -

RE: Maximum SIPP Contribution along with DB Pension
Hi,
For tax relief it is only your own contributions.
For the £60k annual allowance, it is all contributions incuding any tax relief.

RE: EV Salary Sacrifice car, notifying HMRC
Hi,
When reporting to HMRC, you typically need to provide the annual amount paid before tax for the car under the Salary Sacrifice Scheme.
This is because HMRC generally assesses benefits like these on a yearly basis, not monthly.
Thank you.

RE: Need bill for last year NI to ensure full pension April 2025
Hi,
Your situation appears to be as follows –
You need to pay another year and already have had confirmation that it will improve your pension.
You have been told the amount to pay – 52 weeks at the Class 3 rate, however you wish to pay part of the year at the Class 2 rate.
If this is the case, Class 2 NICs are usually paid through self assessment and not recorded on the NI record until at least November after the end of the tax year in question.
For pension purposes, we can speed up this process but you will need to call us on 0300 200 3500. Lines are open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday.
Any pension increase will be from date of reaching state pension age or date we receive payment, whichever is later.
Thank you. -

This will depend on the contract you had at the time.
