Personal allowance for 65 to74 age

[glenmar13]

Could anyone tell me when I can get the personal allowance for this age group and are there any rules that I need to know. I am 68 and just received a coding notice saying that £6475 is the allowance who are between 65 & 74 when I thought it should be £9030.
Confused

Hello glen

The amount will depend on your income level as this allowance tapers off once your income exceeds 22,900 in the current tax year.
If your income is below 22,900 then you should receive the full allowance of 9490 (Ie 6475 pers allow + 3015 extra age allowance)
Note you should have this allowance every year from 65 if you have low income so if they have missed it out in error you can go back to the year you turned 65.

Thanks for the information.
My notice says £6475is the personal allowance for people between 65 &74 with total income over £28930. My income will be about £24000. How do I work out my allowance. What is this £9490 for age 65 to 74. There is no mention of earnings above 28930 in any leaflets..

Here is how calculated.

Personal Age Alloance £9490
Less ½ (24000-22900) £550
Allowance should be £8940.

The tax man has got it all wrong so I have sent the details to them.
