Revenue Service guidance treats an individual as resident with at least 91 days in the year, or at least 35 days plus 365 days in the preceding four years. Principal residence includes 182 days, or 91 days plus 730 in the preceding four years, with an additional permanent-arrival rule. Sole residence also tests residence elsewhere. Record day counts, prior years and the subsequent-year evidence needed by the arrival rule. Residence guidance and s3 extract.
Do not treat an immigration permission or an address as the residence determination. Separately document which income enters the tax base and any treaty outcome.
Income tax is 20%. The personal allowance is £15,200. Withdrawal starts at £85,000, at £1 for every £5 above it. Additional withdrawable reliefs follow a specified order; the protected pension amount and transfer rules require separate handling. Rates and allowances; withdrawal rules.
For a case where the reviewer has established the relevant income base, full personal-allowance entitlement, no transferred allowance, no additional relief and no special regime:
I to the reviewed base, not automatically to gross cash receipts.W = max(0, (I - 85,000) / 5).A = max(0, 15,200 - W).T = max(0, I - A) × 20%.| Assumed income | Allowance after withdrawal | Tax before credits |
|---|---|---|
| £50,000 | £15,200 | £6,960 |
| £85,000 | £15,200 | £13,960 |
| £100,000 | £12,200 | £17,560 |
| £161,000 | £0 | £32,200 |
At the allowance-only exhaustion boundary, £85,000 + 5 × £15,200 = £161,000. This does not establish exhaustion of additional reliefs.
The Revenue Service states 30 November 2026 for the 2025 personal return. Do not relabel that as the 2026-return deadline. Check the notice for the relevant year and retain confirmation of any automatic-assessment exemption. Personal returns.
Collect employment and investment statements, foreign income/tax records, residence-day evidence, pension records and each allowance's supporting documents. An unused allowance transfer must be supported by both parties' positions and consent; do not assume it remains available when the transferor's income changes. Allowances guidance.
The tax-reform page describes personal-tax and GST changes for 2029 and corporate changes for 2027. They are not substituted into the 2026 calculation. Track enactment and commencement separately. Tax reform timetable.
General tax and accounting reference material only. These drafts have not been professionally attested. A qualified professional in the relevant jurisdiction must check the facts, current law, elections and deadlines before anyone files, pays or acts on an output.
