Personal Allowance & 60% Trap

Every UK worker receives a tax-free Personal Allowance of £12,570. If your taxable income exceeds £100,000, your personal allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 earned, creating an effective 60% marginal tax rate between £100k and £125,140.

Employee NI Cut to 8%

The UK Class 1 employee National Insurance rate was reduced from 12% to 10% and now to 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 per year, and 2% on earnings above £50,270.

Scottish Tax Bands

Scotland operates independent devolved tax brackets: Starter (19%), Basic (20%), Intermediate (21%), Higher (42%), Advanced (45%), and Top rate (48%), meaning Scottish higher earners pay slightly more tax than rUK.
