(a)personal allowance (section 257(1) of ICTA(1)),

(b)married couple’s allowance (section 257A of ICTA(2)), and

(c)blind person’s allowance (section 265(1) of ICTA(3)).

(a)must have regard to any expected change in the amounts of those reliefs, but

(b)may disregard any of those reliefs if they are not satisfied that the claimant will be entitled to it for the tax year for which it is determined.
