in Cutting tax
Can unused 'Starting Savings Rate ' and Personal Savings Allowance be used to add to your Dividend Allowance?
For example year 23/24
Say you earned £12,570 from non-saving and non-dividend income .
You had £5400 interest on bank/building society savings
You had £2000 share dividend.
I'm assuming £5000 of that £5400 is taxed at 0% leaving £400 .
But then we have Personal Savings Allowance of £1000 so that leaves £600 unused savings allowance.
Can this unused £600 be added to your dividend allowance £1000 ? Therefore £1600 allowance on the £2000 share dividend?
For example year 23/24
Say you earned £12,570 from non-saving and non-dividend income .

For 2023-24 this would be,
£1,000 x 0% = £0.00
£1,000 x 8.75% = £87.50
Total tax due on the dividends = £87.50
