If I work at HQ I get 20 minutes for 5 hours. If I work at the branch I get nothing as can't leave the desk but get plenty of tea whilst sitting there.

so by my calculations my half hours income will be just over tax threshold so >£7 a month to pay but when you take out my 6% pension contributions I will be below! I don't tend to take a break now apart from lunch (30 mins leave 30 mins earlier) but if I am working part time I will probably be more inclined to take a break! |

EP - the possibly mire important figure is the NI 'pension' threshold. Check if you'll earn enought to get a pension credit, whether or not you actually pay any NI. gov.uk |

You're very young Pix to be fully paid up. You must have started working at a very young age. Isn't it circa 35 years contributions for a full state pension. Good news on the part time hours being sorted. |

This was showing earlier in the year so didn't include the last tax year as it only goes up to 2022 |

That's good news, Pix. I have one more years worth to pay. Will do that at the start of the new tax year April 2024.
