* An annual transferable allowance between spouses of £1,060 was introduced for 2015/16 tax year. This year, 2016/17 the transferable allowance increases by £40 to £1,100. A spouse or civil partner who is not liable to income tax above the basic rate may transfer £1,1000 of their unused personal allowance to their spouse/civil partner, provided that the recipient of the transfer is not liable to income tax above the basic rate. This measure will only be of benefit to those in the lower income bracket.

The increase in the Basic Personal Allowance by £400 to £11,000 a year will certainly be appreciated by lower income families. 

From 2016-17 onward, all individuals will be entitled to the same personal allowance, regardless of the individuals’ date of birth. This allowance is subject to the £100,000 income limit which applies regardless of the individual’s date of birth. The individual’s personal allowance is reduced where their income is above this limit. The allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 above the limit

The Age Related Income Limit for 2016/17 is £27,000. if you are over 65 years and your earnings are above £27,000, your Personal Allowance will be reduced by £1 for every £2 you earn over that £27,000 limit.

 Tax Brackets

These rates are applied after your tax free allowance has been deducted from your gross wage.
Tax Rate	2015/16	2016/17	Change
Basic rate 20%	£0 -£31,785	£0 -£32,000	widened by £215
Higher Rate 40%	£31,786 - £150,000	£32,001 - £150,000	cut by £215
Additional Rate 45%	£150,001+	£150,001+	no change

The widening of the Basic Rate tax bracket and the increase in the Basic Personal Allowance means you can earn more this coming tax year before crossing into the 40% tax bracket. If you take the new Basic Tax Rate threshold of £32,000 and add it it the new Basic Personal Allowance of £11,000, we see that for 2016/17 you can earn £43,000 before you cross in to 40% tax territory. Last year, 2015/16, this figure was £42,385 and for 2014/15 it was £41,865. So you can earn £615 more this year, before crossing into the 40% bracket, than you could have last year. There has been no increase or change in the tax rates. But changes to the tax brackets themselves will mean that less taxpayers will be paying the higher rate of tax (40%) in 2016/17. The 20% tax bracket has widened by another £215, last year it had been cut by £80, so this is good news for those hovering around the higher rate threshold.
