The UK Budget was read on 26/11/2025. Here is what will effect our clients:
1. The headline rates of Income Tax (20%-45%), Corporation Tax (19%-25%) and CGT (18%-24%) remain the same.
2. The Freeze on the personal tax thresholds (Income Tax & NIC) will continue until April 2031. This creates a "fiscal drag" meaning more of your income will be taxed at higher rates due to inflationary income and salary increases.
3. There are higher rates of tax applied to Dividends (which will affect company directors) (10.75%, 35.75% and 39.35%), a 2% tax increase on savings income (interest earned) and a 2% tax increase on income from property (such as rental income).
4. Reductions in Capital Allowances for both Companies and Self-Employed Businesses when they purchase assets.
5. Increases in Minimum Wages from 01/04/2026. ยฃ12.71 (Over 21), ยฃ10.85 (18-20), ยฃ8.00 (16-17) and ยฃ8.00 (First Year Apprentices or Apprentices under 19).
