interests , dividend calculation

Hi, Given that 12570 personal allowance, 5000 start rate of saving, 1000 saving allowance, 1000 dividend allowance If the salary is 12570, the interests is 8000, the dividend is 10000, is it still ok to use the start rate of saving? Calculation 1: the tax will be 8000-5000-1000=2000 (interests) x 20% + 9000 (dividend) x 8.75% Calculation 2: cannot enjoy the start rate of saving, tax = 8000-1000=7000 (interests)x20% + 9000(dividend)x8.75% Which one is correct one?

Hi

The correct calculation will be calculation 2. 

Thank you

Excuse me, may i know why 5000 starting rate of saving is not included in calculation 2? The salary is 12570 and i expect there will be 5000 starting rate of saving for saving interest.

Hi Gj,
You will need to contact HMRC to review the calculation Self Assessment: general enquiries
