• INCOME TAX RATES & ALLOWANCES

Every individual is liable to pay tax on the income he earns in a year through various sources. Not all income is taxable and you’re only taxed on taxable income above a certain level. There are various reliefs and allowances that can reduce your Income Tax. Various sources of an income can be;

• Earnings from employment
• Earnings from self-employment
• Most pensions income (State, company and personal pensions)
• Interest on most savings
• Income from shares (dividends)
• Rental income
• Income paid to you from a trust
