From this guide:
If you are a taxpayer living in England or Wales, you will pay 40% income tax for an income of over £50,270 (assuming a full personal allowance is available).
Scottish taxpayers will continue to be subject to income tax at 6 different rates, ranging from 19% (Starter Rate) to 48% (Top Rate) for any income in excess of £125,140.
Regardless of whether you are an English, Welsh or Scottish taxpayer, if you claim child benefit and have an income of over £50,000, you will feel the impact of taxation even more keenly.
Taxpayers in England and Wales with a total income above £125,140 will pay the additional rate of 45%.
As tax allowances are progressively withdrawn on any income over £100,000, there is also a marginal effective rate of c.60% that applies to any income between £100,000 and £125,140 regardless of where you reside in the UK.
This increased tax burden for high earners is a deliberate policy by the Government, which stated: “As a clear result of the government’s reforms to tax, welfare and public spending across this parliament, the richest households will make the biggest contribution to reducing the deficit, both in cash terms, and as a proportion of their income.”
