Yes that’s right but you’ll need to do a self assessment tax return.

Depending on how you do payroll / paye you may need to think about payments on account as well going forward. If you end up being required to make a HMRC payment on account it’s essentially half again what you owe in July.

EVERY UK tax payer receives the annual Personal Tax Allowance - currently £12,570 (frozen until 2028, unless Labour changes this Conservative policy).

So, once you have calculated your taxable business profits - in accordance with accounting and tax rules, before you calculate the Income Tax arising you need to deduct your personal tax allowance amount of £12,570.

Don't forget that your self assessment liability is not just made up of Income Tax. If you are self employed, you will also need to calculate your self employed National Insurance liability too. This is calculated using a different set of thresholds so you need to look them up too.

Not every tax payer - it’s reduced/removed for higher earners (ie over £100k).

True - but technically they do get it but it is taken away as their income levels climb beyond a certain point.
