#99Semi-related question: How do you calculate taxes in UK? Is the base of the tax the salary offered by companies in job offers? I mean, with say £60k job offer, do I pay tax from £60k? (with the last £17k being taxed at 40%)?
Nope, you pay tax on the full amount. Each taxpayer has a personal allowance (currently £11,000 generally, but this varies) on which no tax is paid; a rate of 20% applies to income between £11,000 and £42,000, a rate of 40% on income between £42,000 and £161,000, and a rate of 45% above that.

Don't forget you start to lose the personal allowance at 100k, so someone earning earn between 100k and ~122k has a top rate of 60%
