Information About

Personal Allowance




The personal allowance for the tax year 2005-06 for residents under 65 was £4895, and this has risen to £5035 for the tax year 2006-07. Earnings above the personal allowance are taxable according to how much is earned.

Certain residents are entitled to a larger personal allowance than this. These include the over 65s, the blind, and married couples where at least one person was born before 6 April 1935.
