UK Tax Changes for 2026/27
The new UK tax year runs from 6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027. While there are no major changes to the main Income Tax rates, employees should be aware of updated thresholds and continued freezes on several tax allowances.
The main changes affecting employees include:
Personal Allowance Remains at £12,570
Most employees can continue to earn £12,570 per year tax free before paying Income Tax.
The Personal Allowance remains frozen at this level for the 2026/27 tax year, meaning the first £12,570 of your income is not subject to Income Tax if you are eligible for the full allowance.
Income Tax Rates Stay the Same
For England, Wales and Northern Ireland, Income Tax rates for employment income remain:
| Tax Band | Tax Rate | Income Range |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Allowance | 0% | Up to £12,570 |
| Basic Rate | 20% | £12,571 to £50,270 |
| Higher Rate | 40% | £50,271 to £125,140 |
| Additional Rate | 45% | Above £125,140 |
This means your salary is taxed progressively. You only pay the higher rate on the portion of your income that falls into that tax band, not your entire salary.
National Insurance Changes 2026/27
National Insurance contributions continue to be an important deduction from employee salaries.
For the 2026/27 tax year:
- Employees start paying National Insurance once earnings exceed £12,570 per year.
- The employee National Insurance main rate remains 8% on earnings between the Primary Threshold and Upper Earnings Limit.
- Earnings above the Upper Earnings Limit are charged at 2%.
Your actual National Insurance deduction depends on your pay frequency, salary level and employment circumstances.
