🔍 **Understanding the Basics:**
- Tax Year: The UK tax year runs from April 6th to April 5th of the following year.
- Income Tax: Learn about PAYE (Pay As You Earn) and National Insurance contributions.
- Personal Allowance: The current standard Personal Allowance is £12,570, meaning you can earn up to this amount without paying Income Tax.
💡 **Tax Brackets in the UK:**
- 0% (Personal Allowance): Up to £12,570
- 20% (Basic rate): Earnings between £12,571 and £50,270
- 40% (Higher rate): Earnings between £50,271 and £125,140
- 45% (Additional rate): For high earners above £125,140
📉 **Tapering of Personal Allowance:**
- For every £2 of adjusted net income above £100,000, your Personal Allowance decreases by £1.
- At £125,140 or above, your Personal Allowance becomes zero, resulting in a 60% effective tax rate.
📝 **Maximize Your Savings:**
1. **Claim Tax Rebates:** Get rebates on professional expenses like GMC fees and indemnity insurance.
2. **Check Your Tax Code:** Avoid overpaying by ensuring your tax code is accurate.
3. **Marriage Allowance:** Transfer tax-free allowance to your partner and save up to £252.
4. **Childcare Costs:** Use the Tax-Free Childcare scheme to save up to £2,000 per child annually.
5. **Pension Contributions:** Plan for the future while lowering your taxable income.
