Additional rate taxpayers do not currently benefit from the personal allowance as it is tapered away when a person has income over £100,000 and is fully removed for those paying the additional rate. Therefore this would have no exchequer impact.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2024-2025, the income limit for personal allowance is £100,000. For every £2 of additional income above the limit, the personal allowance decreases by £1, and reaches £0 at an income level of £125,140. The additional rate of income tax is paid on income over £125,140. All income tax rates and allowances are provided in the following publication: Income Tax rates and allowances for current and previous tax years - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)<\/a><\/p>"}

HMRC deploy resource across all sectors proportionate to the level of risk.<\/p> <\/p> Since the UK NMW changes for the maritime sector in October 2020, HMRC have worked with the domestic maritime sector and unions to ensure obligations and worker rights are understood and are being complied with. HMRC wrote to employers in the Maritime sector asking them to check that they are paying all their workers the correct minimum wage.<\/p> <\/p> HMRC have produced multi-lingual leaflets for seafarers regarding their entitlement and routes of redress and these have been distributed via the RMT and Nautilus International unions. HMRC also provided an article on seafarer minimum wage entitlement published on Nautilus International website encouraging seafarers to make a complaint if they are not receiving National Minimum Wage.<\/p> <\/p>
