  • Basic Rate bracket will now be extended to: £31,785 + (£960/ 0.8) = £32,985
  • Interest from ISA’s are not taxed
  • Interest and dividends received will need to be grossed up
  • Thomas will be entitled to the full personal allowance of £10,600, since his taxable income is less than £100,000

This above table implies that the first item to be taxed will be £32,400 and then the next £585 from savings income will be taxed at 20% to make up the extended basic rate bracket (remember the basic rate has been extended from £31,785 to £32,985 due to the gift aid donations). The rest of the taxable income will be taxed at the applicable higher rate based on the type of income.

Total tax liability

You will notice the interest is split into two lines in the table above. This is because the savings income is the next type of income to be taxed and we need to use up the extended 20% tax bracket of £32,985, which the taxable employment income doesn’t cover this bracket in full; so the balance is covered in the savings income and taxed at 20% and the remaining savings income is taxed at 40%.

The rest of the taxable income are below £150,000 so they all fall into the higher rate tax bracket and have been taxed using different tax rates based on the type of income.

The table above shows that Thomas is due to pay tax of £13,548.75; remember he would have paid some taxes already, so it’s just the additional tax amount he will now be due to pay.
