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.
The tax tables that have look-up tables in portable document format (PDF) are available for download as quick links on this page. You can also link to more information about each tax table from this page.
Tax tables for previous years are also available at Tax rates and codes.
