Every year we look at a series of case studies to show the affect of tax and benefit changes on as wide a range of people as possible. Last year's examples include a married or civil partnership couple with no children earning £40,000 and £30,000 respectively, a single parent with two children earning £43,000, a single higher rate taxpayer, and a pensioner couple on the full state pension.
But inevitably we miss out very many people from these examples, and this year we would like to ask for your help. What scenarios would you like us to explore?
We need to know:
• Whether the person is single, married or in a civil partnership, or living with a partner
• How many children they have
• What incomes they earn, and whether they receive working or family tax credit and/or child benefit
• Their ages.
These facts will enable accountants KPMG to work out how much income each case study would get before and after the budget announcements.
Please post your suggestions below and tell us why you think they need closer inspection. We will use as many as possible in the case study examples we publish on 21 March.
