(f)section 45(3)(a) F6... (marriages before 5 December 2005),

(2)It applies if the [F8consumer prices index] for the September before the start of a tax year is higher than it was for the previous September.
(3)For the tax year—
(a)the allowances specified in sections [F935(1)] [F10and] 38(1),
(b)the amounts specified in sections 45(3)(a) F11... and 46(3)(a) F11..., and
(c)the minimum amount specified in section 43,
are found as follows.
Step 1
Multiply the allowance, amount or (as the case may be) the minimum amount for the previous tax year by the same percentage as the percentage increase in the [F12consumer 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.
That amount is the increase for the tax year.
Step 3
Add the increase for the tax year to the allowance, amount or (as the case may be) the minimum amount for the previous tax year.
The result is the allowance, amount or (as the case may be) the minimum amount for the tax year.

Step 1
Increase the adjusted net income limit for the previous tax year by the same percentage as the percentage increase in the [F14consumer prices index].
Step 2
If the result of Step 1 is a multiple of £100, it is the adjusted net income limit for the tax year.
If the result of Step 1 is not a multiple of £100, round it up to the nearest amount which is a multiple of £100.
That amount is the adjusted net income limit for the tax year.
(5)Subsections (1) to (4) do not require a change to be made in the amounts deductible or repayable under PAYE regulations during the period beginning on 6 April and ending on 17 May in the tax year.
(6)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 allowances, amounts, the minimum amount and the adjusted net income limits for the tax year.
