deduction from earnings question?

[Gruffle]

hi

 

just a quick question regarding deductions from earnings, the council want to take some money out of my wage each week, presumably the amount is based on what i earn, and in the past the csa have threatened to take money out of my wage too

 

is the cumulative amount they can take a set percentage of my wage or can they take what they want to settle the debt?

 

say the council want to take 10% each week, the CSA taking an additional 15% each week would screw me financially on what is already a tight budget?

Hi Gruffle,

have a look at this. www.kirklees.gov.uk/answers/council-tax/AttachmentofEarnings.pdf

Sorry I can't be of more help, but you should find the answers there.

Just to add, they cannot take more than what it says in that link.

Deductions to be made under Attachment of Earnings Order

 

This may also help with the council tax

 

They can usually take 1/3 of CSA payment x

Hi there

 

Im not sure if you have already found the answer.. but the csa can take up to 40% of your income; for regular maintenance and arrears. You have to be left with 60% of your income - which i presume would then be for things like council tax payments etc..
