Tax Chat - Pre year-end tax planning

Jan 30, 2012
The 2011/12 tax year ends on 5 April and so we have a couple of months to carry out any pre-tax year end planning.  Here are a few key points to bear in mind:

The 50% rate of income tax still applies if your taxable income exceeds £150,000 – keep below this amount if possible

Your personal tax allowance of £7,475 is withdrawn when your income exceeds £114,950.  You lose £1 of personal allowance for every £2 of income in excess of £100,000

Income falling within the band of £100,000 to £114,950 is taxed at an effective tax rate of 60% - plan so that your income falls below £100,000 or above £114,950
