The 20% basic rate will now start at £16,538 instead of £15,398. The 21% intermediate rate will now start at £29,527 instead of £27,492. This is […]

The mansion tax map: where the money comes from
We’ve modelled the impact of the English “mansion tax” by analysing land registry data on every property transaction since 1995. This lets us estimate how much each postcode and Parliamentary constituency will pay. It’s an approximate and lower-bound estimate – see methodology details below. As property taxes are devolved, there’s currently no mansion tax in […]

Are UK workers over-taxed? The answer in four infographics
There’s a tax paradox in the UK. Overall, we’re paying more tax as a percentage of GDP than at any time since the 1940s – and most people believe they’re over-taxed. Yet, at the same time, the average UK worker paid less tax on their wages in 2024 than any year since the War, and […]

Our webapp shows 50,000 UK companies hide their true ownership
UK company law requires every UK company to disclose the individuals who control it – their “person with significant control” (PSC). But the rules are widely ignored. We’ve found that around 50,000 UK companies hide their true ownership by unlawfully listing a foreign company as their PSC – that’s not permitted. And we’re publishing an […]

Why the general election tax debate is irrelevant
The general election tax debate has been irrelevant. The few £bn being discussed is dwarfed by the actual tax UK tax increases over the last few years, and the further tax increases we’ll almost certainly see in the future. I summarised this point on Sky TV on Wednesday. Here’s all UK taxes paid in 2023-24: […]

The UK tax system favours capital gains. Is it an outlier?
The recent publication of Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer’s tax returns brought into focus the large difference between the marginal rates of tax on employment income (47%) and capital gains tax (20% for shares; 28% for real estate). Many people propose closing this gap. But how unusual is it in an international context? What do […]

How does UK inheritance tax compare with other countries?
The OECD tax database has data on inheritance tax systems across the world, and we can use that to plot theoretical estate/inheritance tax effective rates in each country. In other words, for estates going from 1x average earnings to 100x average earnings, how much tax does the estate pay, as a % of estate value? […]
