Jones family tree

How to meet the Joneses

We have two series of Jones family case studies: the second series is set four years after the first.

However, unless otherwise stated, all of the case studies are based on the current tax year’s rules.

Click on the drop down arrow of each character below for an overview of their situation at the start of Series 1, and to read case studies associated with that character.

All characters in the Jones family are fictional and intended for demonstrative purposes only.
