The difference between Taxable income & Taxed income...
It's taxable if it counts towards the amount you earn for tax purposes. It's taxed if you actually must pay tax on.
Eg. most people can earn £12,570/yr before paying tax, so income under that is taxable but not taxed

Here's how predictions have changed in recent weeks (cost on Typical Use and % change).

O2 price hike on a price hike update!
I complained to @Ofcom
that O2 was telling people when they were leaving airtime plans they "had to pay the handset in full" which is terrible, confusing phrasing and sounds like you can't continue paying by the month (you can!)

I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company."
The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.
