Hi. My Aunt gets a monthly pension from her late husbands' employer. Bar the months before and after the annual pension increase, her payments during 2017/2018 were a constant £460.36pm.
Her Tax Code for that year was S230 (S=Scotland) (230 comes from Personal Allowance minus State Pension)
Scottish Tax Rate for 2017/18: above £11,500 up to £43,000 – 20%
Gross work pension is £527.36pm. For a year, that's £6,328.32.
Deduct the tax free element of £2,300, that leaves a taxable sum of £4028.
20% of that is £805.60 or, per month £67.13.
However, for those months where her nett has been £460.36, the tax deducted has been £67.00.
It's only 13p of a difference which suggests that something is being rounded up or down but I can't figure out what. If anyone's willing to work it out and tell me how the tax of £67.00 is arrived at, I'd be grateful. Thank you.
