Starting Rate: Tax Question for the UK

Hi,

If an individual has a taxable income of £150,000, £16,200 in rental income, and £133,800 as savings income, are they entitled to the 0% starting rate? :thinking:

I can’t find any specific examples for a case like this, but from what I understand, the starting rate is only reduced to zero if income from non-savings sources exceeds the starting rate threshold. :books:

I’m leaning towards the starting rate being partially available, but given the personal allowance is no longer applicable, I’m a little unsure. :man_shrugging:

In the UK tax system, personal allowances determine when you begin paying income tax rather than a starting tax rate. Your personal allowance is the threshold of income you can earn before income tax applies.
