You may also need to if you have untaxed income, such as rent, savings interest or dividends. Use HMRC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/check-if-you-need-tax-return\">checker<\/a> to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why check your tax code: <\/strong>even if you don\u2019t file, your tax code decides how much tax is taken from your pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How joint ownership affects your tax return (and your tax bill)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Married couples and civil partners who live together are normally taxed 50:50 on <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/savings-interest\/\">joint savings interest<\/a> and property income. If your real shares are unequal, you may be able to change the split. For property, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/income-tax-declaration-of-beneficial-interests-in-joint-property-and-income-17\">Form 17<\/a> with evidence of the unequal shares, such as a declaration or deed. For savings, check HMRC\u2019s current guidance first. Unmarried joint owners of savings are normally taxed on their actual entitlement, which for a bank account is usually split equally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example: \u00a32,000 of joint interest, with one partner a basic rate taxpayer and the other a higher rate taxpayer. A 50:50 split gives \u00a3200 tax in total. If the basic rate partner really owns 80%, and a valid declaration applies, the total falls to \u00a3120, after the <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/personal-savings-allowance\/\">Personal Savings Allowance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Each partner can have their own ISA: \u00a320,000 each for 2026\/27. Joint ISAs aren\u2019t allowed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Alternatives to the tax implications of earning over \u00a3100k<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever tax you\u2019re liable to pay, you will have to pay by law. That said, there are ways to be more tax efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Take non-cash benefits:<\/strong> such as a company car, through <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/high-earner-tax-returns\/how-does-salary-sacrifice-work\/\">salary sacrifice<\/a> instead of a pay rise. Taxable benefits can still count towards your adjusted net income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pension contributions: <\/strong>these reduce your <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/adjusted-net-income\/\">adjusted net income<\/a> and can restore some or all of your Personal Allowance. For example, a \u00a3110,000 earner who pays \u00a310,000 into a pension has adjusted net income of \u00a3100,000, and Income Tax for 2026\/27 is \u00a36,000 lower.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gift Aid: <\/strong>for every \u00a31 you give, your adjusted net income falls by \u00a31.25.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ISAs: <\/strong>move investments into an ISA to shelter dividends, interest and gains from tax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for tax-efficient investments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to prepare for your Self Assessment return<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Employment income:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/self-assessment-basics\/what-is-a-p60-form\/\">P60<\/a> (end-of-year summary) and <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/p11d\/\">P11D<\/a> (benefits in kind, such as a company car or private health insurance).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Savings interest:<\/strong> statements from all accounts, even if the interest is within your Personal Savings Allowance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dividends:<\/strong> dividends above your \u00a3500 <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/dividend-allowance\/\">dividend allowance<\/a> are taxed at 8.75%, 33.75% or 39.35% for 2025\/26, depending on your tax band.
