Hi All,

Just trying to work out future tax planning. Please help with the following example.

Earned income = 0

Savings income - 17k - zero tax to pay

Dividend income = 16k is this tax free or would there be 7% to pay on (16 - 5k allowance) 11k

Does the savings income affect your personal allowance?

Otherwise, numbers look ok.

	P2P is risky, expect losses. It may take several years to exit a platform.
