828AF3Indexation of the fixed amount and the amount per adult and child

1

This section provides for increases in the amounts specified in—

a

section 808(2) (the fixed amount), and

b

section 811(1A) and (2)(a) and (b) (the amount per adult or child),

if the consumer prices index for the September before the start of a tax year is higher than it was for the previous September.

2

The amount specified in section 808(2) for the tax year is found as follows—

  • Step 1: multiply the amount for the previous tax year by the same percentage as the percentage increase in the consumer prices index.

  • Step 2: if the result of Step 1 is a multiple of £10, it is the increase for the tax year.

    If the result of Step 1 is not a multiple of £10, round it up to the nearest amount which is a multiple of £10 and that amount is the increase for the tax year.

  • Step 3: add the increase for the tax year to the amount for the previous tax year and the result is the amount for the tax year.

3

The amounts specified in section 811(1A) and (2)(a) and (b) for the tax year are found as follows—

  • Step 1: multiply the amount for the previous tax year by the same percentage as the percentage increase in the consumer prices index.

  • Step 2: if the result of Step 1 is a multiple of £5, it is the increase for the tax year.

    If the result of Step 1 is not a multiple of £5, round it up to the nearest amount which is a multiple of £5 and that amount is the increase for the tax year.

  • Step 3: add the increase for the tax year to the amount for the previous tax year and the result is the amount for the tax year.

4

Before the start of the tax year the Treasury must make an order replacing the amounts specified in the provisions listed in subsection (1) with the amounts which, as a result of this section, are the amounts for the tax year.
