Check how the government spends your taxes — Annual Tax Summary
Check how the government calculates and spends your Income Tax and National Insurance contributions within your Annual Tax Summary.
Use this service to view your Annual Tax Summary. The summary shows:
- your taxable income from all sources that HMRC knew about at the time that it was prepared
- the rates used to calculate your Income Tax and National Insurance contributions
- a breakdown of how the UK government spends your taxes — this makes government spending more transparent
The summary might be different from other HMRC tax calculations. This could be because:
- your circumstances have changed
- some sources of income are not included
The summary is for information only. You do not need to contact HMRC or your employer.
The summary is not evidence of income. For evidence of income, you will need a:
- P60 form from your employer
- SA302 tax calculation
Before you start
