The £100,000 personal allowance taper explained
At £100,000, the UK personal allowance begins to taper. For every £2 of income earned above £100,000, £1 of tax-free personal allowance is removed. This effectively creates a 60% marginal income tax band between £100,000 and £125,140.
This taper does not introduce a new official tax band, but it increases the effective marginal rate on income within this range because additional earnings both incur higher-rate tax and reduce tax-free allowance.
Why £100,000 is a key planning threshold
Many individuals at this level consider pension contributions or charitable giving to reduce adjusted net income and preserve some or all of their personal allowance. Even relatively small income changes in this range can significantly affect take-home pay.
Because of this taper, the £100,000-£125,140 range is often referred to as one of the most tax-inefficient bands in the UK system.
