The full skill

Source-cited draft. Professional review is pending. Figures are limited to the periods and assumptions below. This Guide prepares working papers; it is not authority to file or pay.

Scope

Prepare an ordinary individual income-tax comparison for the year 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Category 2, HEPSS, pension cases, frontier-worker treaty residence and special deductions require separate review.

Sources were accessed on 22 October 2026. A dated rate table controls its stated period; an undated guidance page does not prove that all later amendments have been incorporated.

Residence and filing intake

Section 74 defines ordinary residence using at least 183 days in a year of assessment or presence in a year within three consecutive years whose total exceeds 300 days. Any part of a day counts. Record all three years, not just the current one. Treaty residence requires a separate conclusion. Income Tax Act 2010, s74.

Collect employment, self-employment, pensions, rents, distributions, foreign-tax evidence and allowance documents. Determine the charging provision for each item before adding it to the calculation. A residence result does not establish the treatment of every income category.

Rate comparison

The Income Tax Office displays these ordinary bands:

Source: Income Tax Office, “Charge to Tax”. Confirm the period-specific legislation before final use; the page also contains undated relief figures.

Computation working paper

  1. Establish gross assessable income and classify each proposed allowance or deduction.
  2. Select the correct GIBS table using gross assessable income. Do not treat the £25,000 switch as an additional band.
  3. Apply each marginal rate only to its slice. Separately compute ABS on the reviewed taxable-income base.
  4. Apply only documented credits and special adjustments after confirming eligibility. Keep a separate column for them; the examples below exclude them.
  5. Compare the completed liabilities, then reconcile withholding and payments. A lower preliminary subtotal is not a final assessment.

Arithmetic examples, before credits and with the stated bases: GIBS gross/base £40,000 gives £2,720 + £1,520 + £3,750 = £7,990. ABS taxable base £20,000 gives £560 + £2,040 + £1,560 = £4,160. These use different assumed bases and are not a comparison for one taxpayer. At the GIBS switch, test £25,000 and £25,001 separately; do not smooth a discontinuity without a sourced adjustment.

Employment and source conflicts

New employees supply identification and Terms of Engagement; an employee changing jobs also supplies the previous P7A. Without a code, the employer deducts 20%. PAYE registration guidance.

Release gap: that PAYE page labels its calculator 2026/27 but links to Tax Calculator 2025-2026.xls. Its allowance table is expressly 2025/26. Neither is treated here as verification of the complete 2026/27 relief calculation. Resolve the effective relief schedule and current personal-return deadline before using this as a filing computation.

Self-checks and output

  • Retain the relevant source version, the applicable period and the facts establishing scope.
  • Reconcile every input to the client's records; keep estimates separate from actual amounts.
  • Recompute the example and boundary cases before applying the method.
  • Record exclusions and unresolved points explicitly. Do not convert a missing source into an exemption.
  • Deliver a calculation, evidence list, filing calendar and reviewer questions. Record the exact revision reviewed.

Disclaimer

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.
