Thanks for the reply. Yes, I just wondered if there were any conditions attached to receiving the stipend tax free like
not being in receipt of any other earnings.
I can't foresee any implications, unless your stipend is provided by an employer/industry and attached to some sort of employment.
I will also have additional earnings from previous paid employment in the same tax year which may complicate things.
For example, I'm assuming that you don't get £13290 tax free and also qualify for the £6475 personal allowance
for any additional paid earnings in the tax year.
Can anybody clarify this point? Thanks.
Yes, you do get £13290 and the £6475 personal income tax allowance, because the former is exempt from tax.
