Higher rate tax
5 Answers
Hi, my husband has just got a new job with a much higher salary than before, and he's now going to be on higher rate tax. Could anyone tell me wether he will have to pay 40% on the whole of his wages or just the bit that goes over the threshold?
Thanks

As an aside, as he is going to be a higher rate tax payer why not make sure he is paying what he can into his pension to get the most out of it? This way for every �100 going in, �40 is paid by his tax and �60 by him. Worth looking into.
