UK Tax — Frequently Asked Questions

As an employee, you pay income tax and National Insurance on your salary. Income tax in 2026/27 is 0% on the first £12,570, 20% on £12,571–£50,270, and 40% on £50,271–£125,140. Employee NI is 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% above that. Your employer deducts these automatically through PAYE. Use the Take-Home Pay Calculator for exact figures.
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%, which applies to most goods and services. A reduced rate of 5% applies to home energy, children's car seats and some health products. Zero-rated (0%) items include most food, books, children's clothing and public transport fares. VAT-registered businesses must charge and collect VAT on their sales, then pay it to HMRC quarterly. Use the VAT Calculator to add or remove VAT from any amount.
You must file a Self Assessment return if you are self-employed with income over £1,000, earn over £100,000, have untaxed income (rental income, savings interest, dividends above the allowance), or are a company director. The deadline for online filing is 31 January following the end of the tax year. HMRC charges automatic penalties for late filing.
When selling a residential property that is not your main home, you pay CGT on the gain (sale price minus purchase price and allowable costs). In 2026/27, the rates are 18% for basic-rate taxpayers and 24% for higher/additional-rate taxpayers. The first £3,000 of gains in the tax year is exempt. You must report and pay CGT within 60 days of completing the sale. See the CGT on UK Property guide and use the CGT Calculator.
Fiscal drag is the effect of keeping tax thresholds frozen while wages and prices rise with inflation. As salaries increase to match inflation, more income falls into higher tax bands — even though the real purchasing power of that income has not actually improved. The UK government froze the income tax personal allowance and higher-rate threshold at 2021/22 levels until 2028, creating a stealth tax rise affecting millions of workers.
