If you are taking that home at PP1 then expect that tax man to come knocking very soon and, like the rest of us, you’ll quickly realise extra work is pointless as it all gets taken away from you.

You got a Taycan or something on Tusker?

I have a Tusker car and I still haven’t been less than £5200 for a long time. Usually im between £5500-£6100 as a SH PP4!!! And that’s with £400 going to student loan as well.
