The flowchart used to determine the correct tax code asks;
"Is your annual income from all sources likely to be $14,000 or less"
That's about $280 a week. That's less than the lowest benefit rate for anyone over 19, before you add accommodation supplement. It wouldn't even cover rent, utilities, and food in 2023.
Do you think they're asking time travellers from the 1990s?
