Frequently asked questions
Does England have its own tax bands?
England uses the standard UK-wide Income Tax bands and rates set by the UK government — the same ones used in Wales and Northern Ireland. Only Scotland has its own separate bands.
Is National Insurance different in England?
No. National Insurance, student loan repayment thresholds and pension rules are set UK-wide and are identical in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
What tax code should I use?
Check a recent payslip or your HMRC personal tax account. 1257L is the standard code for a single job with the full tax-free Personal Allowance.
How accurate is this for England specifically?
