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.
