A question about : Housing Benefit/Tax Credits and salary sacrifice

Hi all,

I've been looking over the internet for the answer to my question but can't find anything so hoping somebody on MSE may be able to help. title=Smile

I've just entered into a salary sacrifice scheme at work and the deductions will start at the end of this month, my question is will my HB and TC be assessed based on my salary before or after the SS? The deduction will happen before tax & NI if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance

Best answers:

  • TC is after - can't comment on HB
  • Hi, I've just sent you a PM re the HB stuff.
  • MOVING THREADS FOR BETTER RESPONSES
    Hi, Martin's asked me to post this in these circumstances: I've asked Board Guides to move threads if they'll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com.
  • Hi,
    Just wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone else has any experience of this situation.
    Many thanks
  • My gut feeling is 'before' otherwise the tax payer would be funding your private pension by giving you more HB if you see what I mean.
