There’s a hole in the tax system which has a bizarre effect…
Does your paycheck change weekly?

Try Zero-Based Budgeting:
πŸ‘‰ Give every pound a β€œjob”: rent, food, travel etc.

Need to do a tax return? Here are the key dates you need to know:

Don't miss the October 5th deadline! You must register with HMRC by this date if you need to file a tax return for the first time.

Paying your tax bill: The main deadline to pay any tax you owe is January 31st 2026.
A little reminder: It's okay to stray from your budget every now and then.

Take it as an opportunity to reassess your budget and look for areas where you can adjust. You're doing great!
