The table reflects the grossed dividend in total income and shows the income tax liability before the tax credit is offset. From 2016-17 the dividend tax credit is abolished, effective dividend tax rates are increased by 7.5% and a £5,000 Personal Dividend Allowance is introduced. This affects the measure of total income and leads to a discontinuity in the basis on which tax liabilities are presented between 2015-16 (and earlier) and 2016-17, so the share of incomes and tax liabilities are not directly comparable.</p><p>(3) Percentile groups ranged on total income before tax.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 02/11/2017 17:10:40 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

The income tax system consists of three progressive rates of tax – 20%, 40% and 45%, which sit above an internationally high tax-free personal allowance.
