Hi All
The new tax year has just started and with it are changes to income tax bands and allowances. Just thought I’d highlight them below:
The personal allowance incresses from £11,850 for 2018/19 to £12,500 for 2019/20.
The marriage allowance permits certain couples, where neither pays tax at more than the basic rate, to transfer 10% of their personal allowance to their spouse or civil partner.
*English residents*
The basic rate of tax is 20%.
In 2018/19 the band of income taxable at this rate is £34,500 so that the threshold at which the 40% band applies is £46,350 for those who are entitled to the full personal allowance. In 2019/20 the basic rate band increases to £37,500 so that the threshold at which the 40% band applies is £50,000 for those who are entitled to the full personal allowance.
Individuals pay tax at 45% on their income over £150,000.
*Scottish residents*
The tax on income (other than savings and dividend income) is different for taxpayers who are resident in Scotland to taxpayers resident in the England. The Scottish income tax rates and bands apply to income such as employment income, self-employed trade profits and property income.
In 2018/19 and 2019/20 there are five income tax rates which range between 19% and 46%. Scottish taxpayers are entitled to the same personal allowance as individuals in England.
The two higher rates are 41% and 46% rather than the 40% and 45% rates that apply to such income for other UK residents. For both 2018/19 and 2019/20, the threshold at which the 41% band applies is £43,430 for those who are entitled to the full personal allowance.
