Not an issue then seeing as the highest claim for the 2014-2015 year was £25,339 by the leader of the council and the next highest over £10,000 less than that. Those figures are gross before income tax and national insurance is taken off.
What benefits can you claim while paying tax and insurance on £30,000?
