Hi, went BR in September and will be paying an IPA (hasnt started yet). At Christmas my employer usually gives me a bonus through my wages. Presumably I need to inform the OR if this happens, do you know if I will lose all of it or a percentage. |

if the OR sees it as a windfall they might keep all of it, but if it is classed as income they should only take a % of it.
so fingers crossed for you

Last year it was £1000 gross less tax & Ni of course. Year before it was £500. Ive worked so hard for it because of the debt I was doing more but now I will lose it I guess. |

Afternoon Mrsroller,
My pay increased by £90 this year and I informed the OR of this. My initial IPA payment was £261 per month, but when I sent them a letter informing them of the increase and also that my pay would decrease later in the year due to travel cost increases, they reassessed my IPA and I now pay £241 per month. Not sure how they came to that figure to be honest, but I don't think I'll question it too much. I may need to contact them again as my financial situation has changed yet again, for the worse I'm afraid. I am cautious about doing it again so quickly though as I don't want them to think I am trying to avoid paying so much for the IPA. I am quite happy to pay the amount I've been paying so far, but I really don't want to have to live on the breadline for the next 3 years if I can help it.
Hope this helps.

Hi
How much is the bonus normally - is it thousands or a much smaller amount?

yes you do need to tell the OR and i would say he will take a % of it but depending on the value of it in the first place at to whether the OR is bothered to collect it in the first place
