[underlined] Officers’ Allowances [/underlined]
6. A.M.O. A.710/43 and its amendments A.1199/43 and A.1219/43 are a complete codification of the subject. These A.M.Os also serve as an index to all A.M.Os on allowance still in existence.
Allowance computations are now so simplified that a consolidated figure is used for almost any set of circumstances; this consolidated figure is obtained from appendices “A” and “B” of the A.M.O. The index to other A.M.Os in Appendix “A” permits an easy method of reconciliation between the old individual allowances and the new consolidated figure.
A further simplification has been effected, in that on these new scales no adjustment in rates is made between the seasons of the year.

[underlined] Amendments to this Precis [/underlined]

APPENDIX “A” TO PRECIS ON [underlined] PAY AND ALLOWANCES [/underlined]
[underlined] INCOME TAX [/underlined]
R.A.F. Officers are liable to Income Tax in respect of their full pay less uniform allowance. In general, allowances in respect of lodging, furniture etc. and marriage allowances are not subject to Income Tax.
2. The Tax payable is collected by deduction from pay over the whole Income Tax year, the amount deductable being in many cases based provisionally either on the liability of the previous Income Tax year or on an estimate based on the Income Tax Returns submitted by the individual concerned.
Various examples will best illustrate the position:-
[underlined] Example 1 [/underlined]
The Statutory Income of a single officer (who has no income other than his pay and no liabilities which qualify him for Dependants Allowance or Life Assurance relief etc.) is his pay, less Uniform Allowance. The Uniform Allowance is £25 for Flight Lieutenants and below and £30 for Squadron Leaders and above.
Thus, taking a Squadron Leader whose pay amounts approximately £550 per annum and deducting Uniform Allowance of £30, the resultant Statutory Income is £520. On this income the tax payer is entitled to:-
£520
Earned Income Relief (1/10th of Total Earned Income) …….. £52
Personal allowances (£80 for single officers) ………………. [underlined] £80 £132 [/underlined]
[underlined] £388 [/underlined]
Thus his taxable income is £388 on which he bears tax at 6/6d. on the first £165 …………. £54
and 10/- on the remainder [underlined] £111:10:0d [/underlined]
[underlined] £165:10:0d [/underlined] Total Tax payable
[underlined] Example 2 [/underlined]
The Statutory income of a married officer is arrived at in the same way as for a single officer, i.e., pay less uniform allowance. Earned Income Relief at 1/10th of earned income is also the same. The personal allowance is increased to £140 and an allowance of £50 is given for each child.
[underlined] N.B. [/underlined] R.A.F. married allowances are [underlined] not [/underlined] taxable.
/Contd …….
[page break]
- 2 -
Thus:
taking a Flight Lieutenant (in receipt of the new rates of marriage allowance) living out with his wife and two children. He receives from R.A.F. sources:-
[heading] [underlined] PAY – ALLOWANCES [/underlined] [/heading]
365 days @ 21/9d. … £397 – Living with wife … 5/- a day
Uniform Allowance … [underlined] £25 [/underlined] – 2 children … 5/6d a day
£372 – Servant and HRRA … [underlined] 4/10d. [/underlined] a day
[blank] – 15/4d. a day
= £280 per annum NOT TAXABLE
Earned Income Relief at 1/10th = £37
Personal Allowance
£140
Children [underlined] £160 £277 [/underlined]
[underlined] £95 [/underlined]
although his total income is £677 per annum (£397 and £280) his taxable income is only £95.
he pays tax at 6/6d. (his total taxable income being less than £165).
Total Tax payable = £30 17s. 6d.
It is assumed of course that this officer has no income other than R.A.F. pay – nor has he any other liabilities which might give him further allowances.
3. Where an officer has other income in addition to R.A.F. pay, it will of course be added to his pay to arrive at his statutory income. If it is unearned income, e.g. dividends from shares or rents received, the Earned Income Relief will not of course apply.
Tax on dividends and rents receivable is generally deducted at source at the standard rate, i.e. 10/- in the Pound, therefore, if an officer has 100 £1 shares in a Company and a dividend of 10 percent is declared, i.e. £10 on his shares, he will receive the £10 less tax at 10/- in the Pound, that is to say - £5.
For the purpose of his statutory income, this £5 is grossed up to the original £10. His income tax liability is then worked out and the amount of tax already suffered i.e. £5 is deducted.
If applicable an allowance of £50 may be claimed for a Dependant Relative. This allowance may be claimed where a Tax Payer maintains at his own expense:-
(a) Any relative who is incapacitated by old age or infirmity and whose total income, exclusive of voluntary allotment, does not exceed £30 per annum.
(b) A widowed mother under the same conditions as in (a).
Relief is also granted in respect of life insurance premiums paid. This is deducted in terms of tax from the tax otherwise payable.
4. [deleted] The Income Tax liability of an officer is quite simply assessed as shown in the examples already given: but difficulty is sometimes experienced owing to the fact that officers do not appreciate that the current monthly deductions from pay made by their [/deleted]
[page break]
- 3 -
[deleted] bankers are in respect of their previous year’s income. Thus, supposing that the Income Tax liability of £165 10s. 0d. shown in Example 1 is in respect of the fiscal year 1942-1943, that is to say April 6th, 1942 – April 5th 1943, this Squadron Leader’s bank will deduct some £14 a month from April 1943 to April 1944 and in this way will amass a sufficient sum by April 1944 to pay the Income Tax (£165 10. 0d.) due for 1942 – 1943. It is obvious, therefore, that although deductions have been made from the officer’s pay during 1943-1944, these deductions are in respect of the previous year’s income and his 1943-1944 income has not so far been subject to Tax. [/deleted]
[underlined] Example 3 [/underlined]
A single Flight Lieutenant with no income other than his R.A.F. pay and no liabilities became a Flight Lieutenant in April 1941 – he remains a Flight Lieutenant until April 1942 when he is promoted Squadron Leader.
From April 1941 – April 1942 his bank will deduct from his monthly pay a sufficient sum to cover his tax liability for 1940 – 1941. Up to April 1941 he was a Flying Officer with a total income of £331 10s. 0d. per year.
Thus his tax liability for 1940 – 1941 is:-
Total Income … … £331 10s. 0d.
Less Uniform Allowance … [underlined] £25 0s. 0d. [/underlined]
£306 10s. 0d.
[symbol] Less E.I.R. 1/6th .. £51
[symbol] Less P.A. [underlined] £100 - £151 0s. 0d. [/underlined]
TAXABLE INCOME [underlined] £155 10s. 0d [/underlined]
[symbol] £155 10s. 0d. at 5/- = £38 17s. 6d. to pay
[underlined] N.B. [/underlined]: [symbol] (At 1940 – 1941 rates of Tax).
Therefore his bank will deduct some £3 a month from pay from April 1941 – April 1942 to cover the Tax on his 1940 – 1941 income, viz. £38 17s. 6d., but from April 1941 – April 1942 this officer is a Flight Lieutenant receiving £397 per year and not £331 10s. 0d. The tax on £397 will not be deducted until 1942 – 1943. This officer is promoted to Squadron Leader in April 1942, so his total income for 1942 – 1943 is not £397 but £550; and once again tax on £550 will not be deducted until 1943 – 1944.
From the example given it is clear that the current deductions from pay are to settle the tax on the previous year’s income and Tax on the income of the current year is not paid until the following year. Therefore, at the end of the War, on discharge, most officers will find that they still have a lump sum of Tax to pay on their final year’s income. It is the practice of some officers therefore, to ask their bank to increase their monthly deductions as soon as they are promoted, thereby originating a credit to help pay their ultimate tax liability.
[underlined] Post War Credits [/underlined]
Section 7 of Finance Act 1941 provides that on a date to be fixed in due course by the Treasury after the termination of the War, an individual Tax Payer shall have credited to him the additional tax he has been called upon to pay by reason of the reduction of certain reliefs and allowances. Post War Credit are issuable in respect of 1941 – 1942 and subsequent years. Thus
[page break]
- 4 -
taking Example 2 – suppose this Flight Lieutenant had been living out with his wife and family from 1941 to date. Then tax of £30:17:6d. is payable for the fiscal years 1941 – 1942, 1942 – 1943 and 1943 – 1944.
His Post War Credit is arrived at as follows:-
E.I.R. at 1/6th instead of 1/10th would be £62 and not £37 as shown – a difference of £25.
P.A. would be £170 and not £140 – a difference of £30.
Total difference £25 plus £30 = £55.
He has, therefore, suffered additional Tax at 6/6d. in the Pound on £55 = £17:17:6d. Therefore £17:17:6d. per year is his Post War Credit which is returnable on the termination of the War.
When his tax is finally amended after the War this officer will have paid £13 per annum in tax, (that is to say £30:17:6d. less Post War Credit of £17:17:6d.).
This Appendix is in no way a comprehensive guide to Income Tax, but is merely a guide to the principles involved and certain general allowances applicable to a serving officer. In cases of difficulty an officer should contact Air Ministry Accounts, Stroud, who deal with Income Tax, a local Inspector of Taxes, or a professional accountant.
