in Cutting tax
What tax will be paid, for a 22 yr old single person, starting work on 1st Feb, til end of 2017? I'm getting myself all muddled. Does it go Feb to April for tax year? Or does it go for the whole year? So sorry lol.

    Tax year runs 6th April one year to 5th April of the next.

    As to how much tax will be paid it depends entirely on how much will be earned in those 2 tax years.

    Tax year is april 16 to March 17. If you havent been working you will very likely pay no tax

    April 17 is a new tax year so wvery thing starts from scratch and it depends on your earnigs as to how much tax and NI you pay

    Current rates are nothing payable below £672 a month, then 12% on earnings between £672 and £3583 a month and 2% on earnings over £3583.
    Next year the £672 and £3583 become £680 and £3750.
