I am having a problem that has to do with taxes...
I pay rent to my landlady and I am currently looking for a job...I am also on benefits, so I receive a job seeker's allowance and a big part of my monthly rent. The problem is, since I am not a student any more, my landlady has to pay an additional 25% of taxes, so she asked me to pay for it since it is a lot of money for her, apart from the rest she has to pay. If I do not pay, she will prefer a full time student who would be exempt. So, the final result? On the one hand I receive the benefits, on the other hand, the money goes back to them!! I will be having the same problem even if I move to any other house...any suggestions?
I have already been to the benefits department, and they just do not understand what I am saying to them...they gave me the answer: Your landlady had received a 25%discount which was not supposed to...I already know that. The thing is...I am the one who pays for it instead of her! Oh! And it is backdated!
