Beat The Hike There are significant tax increases coming on 6 April 2010 for anyone who earns over £100,000 a year. Tax allowances are restricted at that level, and there will be a new top rate of 50% for anyone earning over £150,000. If you are affected, there are things you can do to reduce the impact. One of the simplest is to advance income from next year into this - you might end up paying the tax a little earlier, but if you pay 40% rather than 50%, that's a good rate of return. If you are concerned about the impact of the new rates of tax, we will be happy to discuss your options.
