Corroborated Statutory Instrument Great Britain in force since 2023-04-06

Checked against its sources: statute verified 2026-09-21·guidance verified 2026-09-21

Scope: £21,000 a year, stated flat in paragraph 3 with no indexation rule — unlike the plan 1, 2 and 5 thresholds in the same Schedule, which state a base year and then a formula. The same figure applied before 6 April 2023 under the earlier drafting of regulation 44, which is not archived; this record starts where the archived provision does.

Compiler's notes

Named from source by the instrument finder: the F-note on the Schedule cites SI 2022/1335 regs 2(2), 65 ("Sch. 1A inserted (6.4.2023)"). Read from the inserted Schedule's own text — no substitution, so no prior amount is attested.
