    AIUI, the first £2,090 of taxable savings income (i.e. from £6,036 to £8,125 or thereabouts) will be taxed at 10%.

    There will be a new 10% starting rate for savings income only, with a limit of £2320. If an individual’s taxable non-savings income is above this limit then the 10% savings rate will not be applicable.
    it only applies to savings income - if you have earned income then the 10% doesnt apply at all
