Our Tax Card is up-to-date with everything announced in the Budget, giving you all the key numbers in one place.
The 2026/27 Tax Card summarises many of the rates and allowances fundamental to our business and personal lives. We are sure that you will find it a useful point of reference throughout the coming tax year. Our tax card contains lots of information on personal, business, employment, property and capital taxes.
What’s inside the 2026/27 Tax Card
The Tax Card brings the rates, allowances and thresholds you refer to most often into a single quick-reference guide, so you can check a figure without working through HMRC guidance line by line.
It covers:
- Income tax: rates and bands, the personal allowance and related allowances, and the savings and dividend rates.
- VAT: the standard and reduced rates, and the registration and deregistration thresholds.
- Corporation tax: the small profits, marginal and main rates, with the marginal relief fraction.
- Capital allowances: full expensing, first year allowances, the Annual Investment Allowance and writing down allowances.
- Pensions: the annual allowance, money purchase annual allowance, and the lump sum and death benefit allowances.

How Price Bailey can help
A rate card tells you the number. It does not tell you how the numbers interact across your income, your business and your longer-term plans, which is where most of the value, and most of the risk, sits. This year’s dividend and capital allowance changes are a good example. Our tax specialists work with businesses and individuals to plan ahead of the figures rather than react to them.
