10p tax U-turn: jam in October?

Apparently the government is going to review the effects of Gordon Brown's last budget which removed the 10p tax band, and do something about it in October, albeit backdated to the beginning of the tax year.

Brilliant.

So if you have no, or little money you can starve till October. Not only that but you get the impression that someone will have to apply for something where the take up will be less than 100%.

The BBC has this.
