DOWNLOAD: July 2024 Pension Tax Planning For High Earners

UPDATED on July 2024

With continuing intense pressure on government finances, the overall tax burden in the UK is likely to remain at an historically high level for the foreseeable future, with higher earners continuing to shoulder most of the burden. Higher and additional rate taxpayers currently pay over two thirds of all income tax.

One in five income tax payers is currently taxed at the higher or additional rate, up from one in seven four years ago, and the proportion will continue to increase because of frozen tax allowances and bands, at least until April 2028 with no guarantees beyond that. The threshold for paying additional rate tax reduced from tax year 2023/24 from £150,000 to £125,140, while income between £100,000 and £125,140 is effectively taxed at 60% (67.5% in Scotland) because of the tapered reduction to the personal allowance.
