The rates of tax are after your Personal Allowances - so in 2018/19, you start paying the 40% higher rate of tax when your income exceeds £34,500 + £11,850 = £46,350 (2017/18 - £45,000). The tax bands are increased by gross pension and gift aid payments, thus giving you tax relief at higher rates. |

1. From 6.4.2016 the notional tax credit was abolished and new dividend tax rates announced. A dividend allowance of £5,000 taxed at 0% was introduced. Any dividend income over the allowance is treated as the highest part of a taxpayer’s income to determine which tax band it falls into for the purpose of calculating the tax on dividends. 2. From 6.4.2018 the dividend allowance will reduce by £3,000 to £2,000, so the potential impact will be £225 (£3,000 x 7.5%), or £975 (£3,000 x 32.5%), or £1,143 (£3,000 x 38.1%) increase in tax. |
