Income Tax Rates

The tax rates for 2011/12 have been frozen at the 2010/11 levels but the threshold at which the 40% tax rate is applied is reduced to £35,000. This introduces a subtle tax increase as it pulls more people into the 40% tax bracket, and increases the amount of income subject to tax at 40%.

Savings rate* (10%): £0 - 2,560
Basic rate (20%): £0 - 35,000
Higher rate (40%): £35,001 to 150,000
Additional rate (50%): Over £150,000
