Unemployment benefit is taxable income i.e. you may not have to pay tax on it put it does count as earnings against your tax free allowance which in 2005-06 is 4895

So if your total earnings, (which includes unemployment benefit, savings interest), is less than 4895, then there is no tax to pay.


Heres a useful online tax calculator, that works out how much tax is due on your earnings.
