What was different about 2024/25
For 2024/25 the dividend allowance was halved again — from £1,000 down to just £500 — making it the lowest level since dividend allowances were introduced. Headline rates (8.75% / 33.75% / 39.35%) were unchanged, but the shrinking allowance pulled more directors and investors into the dividend tax net.
