    What's the question? Is income above £122,000 by any chance?

    Hi bertie
    The employment income is £105,500 and self employment profits are £66,000.

    Ok.

    Total income over £100,000 starts to affect the personal allowance.

    For every £1 over £100k you'll lose 50p of the allowance. Once you hit £122k there is no allowance.

    Gross Gift Aid and Personal pension contributions can lower the total income for adjusted net income purposes. Thus possibly bringing client under £122,000.

    Hi Bertie
    Many Thanks I forgot about £122k wiping out the allowance, remember the other bit.

    Thanks again

    Just remember for every X over £100k you'll lose half the PA for it - PA is lost at £122k unless you can adjust net income.

    Next year the limit will be slightly higher.
    As you can see the 22k is double the current PA.
