NOTES:
TFA: Tax Free Allowance amount - you only start paying the basic rate of tax once your earnings go above your tax free allowance.
These rates are applied after your tax free allowance has been deducted from your gross wage.
No changes to the Basic Rate tax bracket and no increases in the Basic Personal Allowance means little difference on the personal tax front in 2023/24. Both the Higher and the Additional Rates see significant changes for the coming tax year.
