Draft Finance Bill 2017 – New Tax Allowance for Property and Trading Income

 

At Budget 2016, the Government announced two new £1,000 allowances for property and trading income to take effect for income arising from 6 April 2017.

The Government also announced at Autumn Statement 2016 that the trading allowance may also apply to certain miscellaneous income to the extent that the £1,000 trading allowance is not otherwise used.

Further detail has now been released:

  • Where the allowances cover all of an individual’s relevant income (before expenses) then they will no longer have to declare or pay tax on this income. Those with higher amounts of income will have the choice, when calculating their taxable profits, of deducting the allowance from their receipts, instead of deducting the actual allowable expenses. The trading allowance will also apply for Class 4 NIC;
  • The new allowances will not apply to income on which rent a room relief is given; and
  • The new allowances will not apply to partnership income from carrying on a trade, profession or property business in partnership.
