Tax at the Highest Rates on £150,000

At £150,000, your entire Personal Allowance has been removed by the taper. You pay income tax on every pound you earn, starting from the basic rate band.

Income above £125,140 is taxed at the additional rate of 45%.

At this income level, maximising pension contributions (up to the £60,000 annual allowance) is one of the most effective strategies. Salary sacrifice pension contributions reduce your income for both tax and NI purposes, and any contribution that brings you below £125,140 recovers the additional rate saving.
