BALPA and Tax allowances
Have just had dealings with the tax office over an erroneous tax coding letter. While I was on to them I asked (both in writing and on the phone) about tax credits for BALPA subs and they said that was OK. New coding notice has arrived with 'professional subscriptions' as an allowance, for the amount I pay each year in subs.
Saw a question about this a while ago, so hope it answers it.
Don't shoot the messenger if the tax office have screwed up a second time! I actually found their help line very helpful - if you don't mind listening to music and being told you are in a queue.
Also - there is another thread about whether BALPA is worth it or not, lets not degenerate this one, its just a notice for you all that you might be able to squeeze a little more out of the tax man.
