Work to maps, forms and planning applications
We're doing some work to online maps, forms and the planning system tomorrow (Tuesday 21 May). This means you won't be able to access them for the day. This does not affect council tax or rent payments.
A Direct Earnings Attachment is when we ask an employer to deduct money from your pay.
If you haven't paid back your overpayment or set up a payment plan, we might set a Direct Earnings Attachment (DEA) up.
You and your employer will get a letter from us if we plan to do this.
The tables below show how much we'll take based on your weekly or monthly pay, after deductions like tax and National Insurance.
Weekly take home pay | Percentage we'll take |
---|---|
£100 to £160 | 3% |
£160 to £220 | 5% |
£220 to £270 | 7% |
£270 to £375 | 11% |
£375 to £520 | 15% |
More than £520 | 20% |
Monthly take home pay | Percentage we'll take |
---|---|
£430 to £690 | 3% |
£690 to £950 | 5% |
£950 to £1,160 | 7% |
£1,160 to £1,615 | 11% |
£1,615 to £2,240 | 15% |
More than £2,240 | 20% |
If you earn less than £100 a week or £430 a month, the minimum deduction we take is £10 per week.
Your employer will work out how much you need to pay based on the percentages and send the payments to us.
They'll also need to complete a DEA payments schedule, which is available to download, complete and return to us by email:
