on the table</strong></p><ol><li>The proportions are for individuals with employment
and/or self-employment income and are based only on their employment and/or self-employment
income.</li><li>The tax year 2017 to 2018 is the latest year for which these figures
are available.</li><li>The Survey of Personal Incomes (SPI) is based on a sample of
taxpayers.</li><li>Where income exceeds the threshold for the operation of PAYE (£11,500
for 2017-18), the SPI provides the most comprehensive and accurate official source
of data on personal incomes. However, as HMRC do not hold information for all people
with personal incomes below the tax threshold, the SPI is not a representative data
source for this part of the population.</li><li>As is the case with the published
Personal Incomes Statistics, these figures are statistical estimates and will be subject
to sampling variation.</li></ol><p> </p>
