over 80 income tax...
Posted: February 7th, 2019, 10:48 am
Mrs X is newly widowed, aged 89.
Before Mr X passed away (in 2018/19 paye year) she had two pensions - state of £185/week and post employment of £445/month.
She will now receive from Mr X's pension £286/month). Mr and Mrs X married in circa 1962, both born circa 1924-26,
She has no other income (some savings in ISAs apparently which are examplt of course).
Mrs X maintains that until now she hasn't paid any income tax - ie no deducations from her previous scenario. She believes she will now be liable with the additional pension income post bereavement. She doesn;t know her tax code as she has "not paid income tax thus far".
so my questions are...
1) Presumably her tax code is 1185L same as any other single person ? Her age etc doesn;t alter that?
2) I cant see that she won;t have paid any tax before - her income is already over the threshold?
3) she should be paying paye as far as I can see ?
4) she will not be paying NIC?
5) who should be extracting PAYE at source? state pension? employment pension? husbads pension?
cheers
