About tax tables

We produce a range of tax tables to help you work out how much to withhold from payments you make to your employees or other payees. A tax withheld calculator that calculates the correct amount of tax to withhold is also available.

Tax tables with an asterisk (‘*’) have downloadable look-up tables available in portable document format (PDF). To get a copy of the PDF, select the tax table you need and go to the heading Using this table. The link to the PDF is in the Get it done section.

Tax tables for previous years are also available at Tax rates and codes.
