Income tax
Income Tax is charged on earnings from employment or self-employment, most pensions and state benefits, rental income (unless covered by the Rent a Room Scheme), employment benefits, trust income, and savings interest or dividends above the relevant allowances.
Income Tax is not charged on income within allowances, including the first £1,000 from self-employment or property, income from ISAs and other tax-exempt accounts, dividends within the dividend allowance, certain state benefits, Premium Bond or Lottery winnings, and rent from a lodger below the Rent a Room limit.
