Income Tax Confusion . . . . .

I am taxed at source by my employer (26 years) and still confused how my income tax is calculated. Could someone tell me if this is correct :
  • £7475 - Is my personal allowance, income tax free.
  • £7476 - £42475 is taxed at 20% (based on next £35k earned being taxed at 20%)
  • £42475 + at 40%
  • (I don't earn in to 50% bracket)
Is that correct?

  • Yes, for 2011/2012 tax year.

    yes that's correct

    but do bear in mind that if you pay into a pension scheme than that is tax free
    and if you have any benefits in kind (company car medical insurance etc) then this will be subject to tax
