Property income tax from April 2027

THE DETAIL BEHIND THE NUMBERS
What this means for your calculation
Property income is no longer just another slice of non-savings income. It sits above employment and pensions, and below savings and dividends, and it has its own rates. The allowance cannot be moved onto property or dividends while employment income is still uncovered, even where that would have produced a lower bill.
In practice
Someone with £10,000 of employment income and £40,000 of property profit pays £8,234.60 under the enacted ordering. Giving the allowance to the property income first would charge £8,034.60, but that allocation is not allowed from April 2027.
Does the future change apply everywhere in the UK?
The enacted rates apply in England and Northern Ireland. The Senedd and Scottish Parliament can set their own property rates. This model does not guess those rates. Savings-rate changes are UK-wide but savings income is not modelled.
