UK Tax Brackets for Sole Traders (2024/25)


If you're self-employed or a sole trader, your tax is calculated based on your profits (income minus allowable expenses). Here’s how it breaks down for the 2024/25 tax year:


  • £0 – £12,570 – 0% (Personal Allowance, tax-free)
  • £12,571 – £50,270 – 20% (Basic Rate)
  • £50,271 – £125,140 – 40% (Higher Rate)
  • Over £125,140 – 45% (Additional Rate)


Note: National Insurance (Class 2 and Class 4) is also payable on profits and is separate from income tax. The Personal Allowance is reduced once income exceeds £100,000.


When Should a Sole Trader Switch to a Limited Company?


Switching from sole trader to limited company can help reduce your tax bill and protect your personal assets — but timing matters.


Here are signs it might be time to go limited:


  • You're consistently earning over £30,000–£50,000 per year
  • You don’t need to draw all profits as personal income
  • You want limited liability protection
  • You're looking for investment or larger contracts
  • You plan to hire staff or scale up operations
     

Whether you're just starting out or running a six-figure solo business, we handle the sole trader accounting — so you can focus on doing what you love.
