Last year the first £2230 of taxable income was taxed at 10% and then after that at 22%.  This year you get taxed at 20% on taxable income.  So the 22% has dropped to 20% but they've removed the 10% rate.  I think if you make anything up to 18K profit and don't get any tax credits then you'll be slightly worse off.  If you earn over 18K then your better off due to the drop to 20%.

The rich are smarter than the politicians. They always have been !

Thats why I went Ltd, so I didnt pay the top rate of tax (40%) being a shareholder I pay myself a dividend and only pay 20% corporation Tax

If you think this is unfair, then just declare a slightly lower turnover and keep your expenses the same.

Then it'll balance out as if the 10p threshold still existed.

Doh!
