Terrific Tuesday Tax Tip- Checking Your PAYE Code & Utilising Personal allowances

Checking Your PAYE Code and Utilising Personal allowances

Many PAYE tax codes are incorrect when issued. HMRC may have included an estimate of your unearned income, that means you will pay tax on that income earlier than you would if it was assessed through your self-assessment tax return. You can ask HMRC to remove this estimated income and also correct any other errors.

If a spouse/civil partner has insufficient earnings to utilise the full £11,500 personal allowance, contemplate transferring income-paying assets, to use up both personal allowances. If neither partner pays tax at 40% or 45%, you can transfer up to 10% of personal allowance to the other, making a tax saving of up to £220.

Reduce income to below the £100,000 threshold, as the personal allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 of net income over £100,000.

The rate for income over £150,000 is 45%, consider reducing your tax liabilities by deferring income, making donations to charity, making pension contributions, or gifting income-paying assets to a spouse/civil partner with a lower income.
