Not many allowances have changed this year and those that have changed have only done so by a small amount.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT), Inheritance Tax (IHT), the annual ISA Allowance and the Personal Savings Allowance are examples of some tax allowances that have not changed between 2020/21 and 2021/22.
You can see all of the current rates, including the rates from previous years, on the allowances page here.
The two main tax rates that have changed are the personal allowance and the personal tax rates (although these are intrinsically linked so could be counted as one).
The personal allowance has increased to £12,570 from £12,500 – so only a small increase – and the higher rate tax bracket now starts at £50,270 instead of £50,000.
Some allowances are also set to be frozen until 2026 so that some of the debt that has been built up over the last year can be recouped. Therefore, as people earn more, they may find that they are paying more tax.
It may be a while until we see a sustained increase in tax allowances.
