Joannee,
I agree there is a mistake in the Handbook.
Yes it should say £30 over the “starting point” – and yes, this would lead to an £18 initial figure.
However, the reduction using the 40% taper would be £2.14 leaving a savings credit of £15.86.
I have developed a QuickCalc tool to work ’em out. Its very easy to use and faithful to the guidance issued so far. Send me an email if you want it.
