About
As always, the new tax year brought a number of changes. And as a limited company director, it’s likely that some of these changes will impact you directly. To help get you up to speed, we’ve put together a rundown with some of the new changes.
Personal allowance
The 2020/21 tax year will see the personal allowance remain unchanged from the previous tax year at £12,500.
Dividend allowance
If you pay yourself in dividends through your limited company, the allowance is remaining at £2,000. This means you’ll get to earn £2,000 as dividends before paying tax. Beyond this, you’ll pay tax on dividends at 7.5% if you’re a basic rate taxpayer, 32.5% for a higher rate, and 38.1% for an additional rate.
You can discover more about your dividends in our guide here.
Student loan threshold
The earning thresholds for student loan repayments have also increased as follows:
Plan 1 has increased from £18,935 to £19,390.
Plan 2 has increased from £25,725 to £26,575.
Pensions contributions
The lifetime allowance has increased from £1,055,000 to £1,073,100.
