Income tax cuts plus some not so beneficial changes for self-employed tax payers

Increases on in-come tax bands 2019/20
The net profit margin or your ‘personal tax free allowance’ before you become a UK taxpayer, rises by 5% to GBP 12,500 by 06th April; the previous figure was GBP 11,850.
However, the personal allowance margin for higher earners will be reduced.
- If net profits are over GBP 100,000 your personal allowance is decreased by GBP 1 for every GBP 2 you mark in as earnings which exceed the initial GBP 100,000
- Earn over GBP 124,000 and you are entitled to no personal allowance and you get taxed on the entire net profit
- Higher threshold for paying a higher tax-rate. The increase is 40% going from GBP 46,350 to GBP 50,000
