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.
