Where can I find an example showing that the BR tax band is after PAllowances

Where can I find an example showing that the BR...

Didn't find your answer?

This is going to sound like a stupid one, but then again they are often the hardest to solve.

An employee has given me a table which shows taxable income in the basic rate band of £35000.  He gets £40,000 salary and is worrying about 40% tax.  I have tried to explain that this is the first £35,000 of TAXABLE income (ie above his personal allowance) but he is not convinced.  I've tried everywhere "official" to find something that gives an example to shows him but all I can find is separte tables showing the taxable bands.  Even a worked exmaple will be good.

Thanks

Try this

Use the PAYE tax calculator on HMRC's website: -
