I'd make sure you don't sit next to any Pakis carrying rucksacks or shifty looking Brazilian geezers if I were you though. I certainly won't be running down any platforms, that's for sure! |

around like madmen (and women) doing it in the quickest possible time, it's
as an act of defiance, standing up to say "we are not afraid", that sort of
thing. It's very well known that to even complete it visiting every station
is a tough task, so if, on the day, it looks like things are running behind
and last trains will be missed, the idea is to have a plan B and miss out
sections so as to still make it to the end.

Am I tax payer as a student? I didn't really understand the question so I just said I wasn't a tax payer :-/ Cheers - the power of the internet, eh? There is a disclaimer (t's + c's) on there that you have to agree to that basically says that you should take independent advice before declaring yourself a UK taxpayer. In other words, if you're on shitloads of benefits and earning £200k/year, then it's worth saying "no", rather than getting the charity an extra few quid as it might get you into a spot of bother with the IR. At least that's how I read it anyway. As a student you'd probably be ok to say "yes", as when you are working you have to pay tax. Not to worry anyway! Students dont pay tax, the filthy bastards getting away with only paying NI!!! Even if their earnings tops the usual thresholds in any given tax year? |
students pay exactly the same tax as you and me - they have no exemption
whatsoever !
This seems to be some sort of weird urban legend - I have no idea where it
comes from. Perhaps it arose because most students don't exceed the ~£4500
of earnings required to start paying income tax ?

All i know is that when i started working I filled in a form confirming i |
money back that I had already paid!
I guess the form could have been confirming I was not working all year so
even though may wages took me way past the personal allowance if it was
assumed I would get that 52 weeks of the year, in reailty I would only be
working for about 20 weeks. Never used to read things in those days, just
willingly signed them
Although saying that I must have been pretty closeto the allowance each year, but never paid any tax till I graduated.

I've set up a sponsorship page here at www.justgiving.com/thefatboy, where you can sponsor me online - please give as little or large as you can afford - and if you're a UK taxpayer an extra 28% will be added to your donation by some sort of government tax relief covenant-type scheme. Wish me luck, and please, give what you can. You can remain anonymous if you like. Am I tax payer as a student?

Pah, I was better off as a student - loan money each term, cheap rent, big |

Now i'm paying back those loans/overdraft/credit card, pay more rent
(although have a much nicer house) and pay shit loads of tax. Although
saying that I spend far too much money on cars so i guess its my own fault
I'm skint.

All i know is that when i started working I filled in a form confirming i was a student and my tax code was changed to NT (no tax) and I got a load of money back that I had already paid! |
But if you'd earnt more than ~£4500 in that year, then you'd have paid the
~25% income tax on every pound you'd earnt over ~£4500.
