Paying Myself Out Of Sole Trader Income- Tax Thresholds? |
for a subject exam at school i own a small business, and i want to calculate my own wages. i have enough ready money for a decent salary, but i don't want to pay so much that a lot goes to the inland revenue.
1. which tax applies here? principal gains? income?
2. what are the thresholds for income of this kind (e.g. you pay this % for anything up to this amount £ )
any more qs i can think of, i'll add!!!
thanks
| Answer: If you are a particular trader it doesn't matter how much you pay yourself you will be taxed on your profits. The tax you will pay is income tax. You can make up to 6,475 hammer out in the current tax year, (although you may be talking about last year here depending on the business year end). Above this you will be taxed at 20%, you will to all intents also liable for Class 4 national insurance at 8%. If you have made more than 2,500GBP you need to fill |
