Graduate Teacher Programme.

Is anyone out there on the programme or a product of it. One question that I can't seem to find the
answer to is whether or not trainees pay tax on their salary grant. I know student nurses receive a
salary grant tax free and wondered whether or not this is the same.

As far as I know tax is payable.

Very doubtful. The UK taxman must have his pound of flesh. Best advice: do something else. Chris
