UK Tax Codes & Income Tax Explained

In this video we talk Income Tax in the UK and UK Tax codes, what do they mean to you? we also look at a big UK "60% Stealth Tax" Affecting those earning over £100k.
What does your tax code mean? how can you read it and understand it? how is it affected by P11D benefit in kind?
I hope you enjoy it. Sorry that the sound sucks a bit - I'm struggling to get a decent setup for presentations at the moment but I'll get it sorted eventually!

    what happens with company car tax? i'm trying to understand what figure I need to add to my salary, and then how to calculate the tax. Do I have to pay 40% on the portion that takes me over £50k? people have been saying all sorts and I can't get my head around it, what figure do I add to the tax to work out the taxable salary and where do I get it from? is this the benefit in kind figure? thanks in advance!

    Great question Rumel. The BIK value of your company car (the bit on your P11D that's classed as "income") gets added to your salary; if you go over into the 40% bracket by even £1 you pay 40% company car tax (not just 40% on that bit that sent you over the 40% threshold). You need to be very careful with this when choosing your car - FYI 100% electric vehicles are tax-free at the moment and very low Company Car tax for the next year or two. Thanks for supporting the channel ;)

    Thanks Jim. Forewarned is forearmed with the Revenue! I’m reasonably clued in on tax, a lesson I learned after realising how much they’ve pilfered from me down the years! ☹️😳. I clean for a living and a pal of mine took on a clean in someone’s house. She said she would charge £12 an hour for a declareable income, or £10 cash. The customer said cash. After a year or so my pal was chatting to the customer: ‘so, where do you work?’ Answer: ‘HMRC!’ 😉😬

    Help me understand this. If my yearly salary is £60,000, then for the 50,000 i will be paying 20% tax (after £12,500 free). Then for the remaining £10,000, will i be paying 40% tax ??? Or do i have to pay 40% tax for the whole £47,500 (£ 60,000 minus 12500).

    Is P.A.Y.E. Tax optional for stop?? Or is it Refundable?

    Hi Deep, do you mean is PAYE optional? Not if you’re employed, if they ever charge you too much tax they will either refund you by cheque or amend your tax code so you get the refund by paying less tax in future. Hope that was your question. 👍
