How Welsh Income Tax Works
Income Tax in Wales is partially devolved. Wales sets a portion of each tax band (currently 10p), while the UK Government sets the remaining amount. This means that the overall tax bands match those used in England and Northern Ireland.
- Tax code begins with “C” for Welsh taxpayers.
- Personal Allowance remains the same across the UK.
- National Insurance is not devolved — same for all UK nations.
- Tax applies to salary, pensions and rental income.
- Dividend and savings income use UK-wide tax rules.
