No tax is payable on income from dividends that falls within the shareholder’s annual Personal Allowance (£12,570 for 2023/24 tax year). Additionally, all shareholders are entitled to a £1,000 dividend allowance each year.
Beyond these allowances, tax on dividends is determined by the individual’s Income Tax band and charged at the following rates:
8.75% (basic rate tax band) – annual income up to £50,270
33.75% (higher rate tax band) – annual income between £50,271 and £125,140
39.35% (additional rate tax band) – annual income above £125,140
