    Hello,

    In the lecture video titled “2.4 Taxation of Non Savings, Savings and Dividend Income” – at around 46:00 into the video when the lecturer is working through Example 10 – I have a query on these workings.

    The lecturer notes that a £500 nil-rate band allowance is available for a higher rate tax payer, then in the calculations, £37,700 of Non-Savings Income is taxed at 20%.

    I thought that as the £500 nil-rate band was being used, then this meant £500 was used towards the £37,700 Basic Rate threshold? (Meaning that only £37,200 would be taxed at 20% – and this would push an extra £500 of Non-Savings Income into a 40% tax rate).

    Or is it as the entire £37,700 of the Basic Rate threshold is used in Non-Savings Income this is calculated before considering the £500 nil-rate band Savings Income allowance?

    Here is a summary of the lecturer’s workings:

    Non Savings Income:
    £37,700 x 20% = £7,540
    £54,730 x 40% = £21,892

    Savings Income:
    £500 x 0% = £0
    £3,500 x 40% = £1,400

    Tax Liability = £30,832

    But here are my workings (based on using £500 nil-rate band in the £37,700 threshold):

    Non Savings Income:
    £37,200 x 20% = £7,440
    £55,230 x 40% = £22,092

    Savings Income:
    £500 x 0% = £0
    £3,500 x 40% = £1,400

    Tax Liability = £30,932

    Which is correct and why?

    Hopefully my question makes sense – apologies for making it so long winded.

    Thank you for your help.

    Charley

    The lecturers workings are correct.
    Non-savings income is taxed first using the basic rate up to the limit then taxing the rest at 40% (HR) then you move on to savings income and as the tax payer is high rate then the first 500 of the savings income is taxed at 0% with the remainder taxed at HR
