TwitterIn 2024/25, income tax receipts in the United Kingdom amounted to 301 billion British pounds, compared with 275 billion in the previous year. Although the value of income tax receipts has grown quite consistently throughout this period, there is a sharp increase observable from 2021/22 onwards. The period of high inflation from 2021 onwards led to faster wage growth, which pushed many UK workers into higher tax bands, resulting in the increased income tax revenue. Income tax brackets The amount which workers in the United Kingdom pay in income tax is determined by how much they earn, placing them in different income tax bands. All workers in the United Kingdom are entitled to earn a personal allowance of 12,750 pounds before they are charged income tax. The Basic rate of 20 percent applies to income between 12,750 and 50,270 pounds, with a higher rate of 40 percent charged on incomes between 50,271 and 125,140 pounds. The highest tax band stands at 45 percent, for earnings over 125,140 pounds. Main UK taxes Income tax is the largest source of UK government revenue, accounting for 11 percent of gross domestic product in 2025/26. Value Added Tax was the next largest source of UK government revenue, followed by National Insurance, and Corporation Tax. Value Added Tax or VAT is the largest indirect tax in the UK, and is raised via a 20 percent levy on most goods and services sold in the UK. National Insurance Contributions form an additional direct tax on earnings in the UK, while Corporation Tax taxes the profits of companies resident in the UK.

TwitterIn 2024/25 the value of tax receipts for the United Kingdom amounted to approximately 840 billion British pounds. Tax receipts form the bulk of UK government income, based on various direct and indirect taxes. Although tax income has gradually increased throughout most of this period, there is a noticeable dip in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tax revenue sources Of the revenue generated by taxation in 2024/25, over 301 billion of this came from Income Tax receipts, which was the main source of direct tax income for the government. After income tax, the next most substantial direct tax were contributions from National Insurance, which amounted to just over 172.5 billion pounds of tax revenue. The UK's main goods and services tax; Value-added Tax (VAT) amounted to 170.6 billion pounds, while Corporation Tax receipts raised 91.6 billion pounds. Although other smaller direct and indirect taxes produce notable income, these four sources were by far the main sources of income in the previous financial year. UK government finances While taxes and other sources of income raised more than 1.13 trillion pounds in 2024/25, the UK government expenditure was around 1.28 trillion pounds. This gap between revenue and expenditure was financed via government borrowing, which amounted to almost 152 billion pounds. As the UK government has been spending more than it earns for several years, this has resulted in a significant government debt of 2.8 trillion pounds building up, the equivalent of just under 96 percent of GDP in 2024/25.
