How APIT (PAYE) income tax works

APIT (Advance Personal Income Tax), formerly PAYE, is income tax deducted from your monthly salary by your employer.

The basics

• A tax-free allowance applies before any tax is charged.
• Income above that is taxed in progressive bands.

Estimate yours with the income-tax calculator. Tax bands change with each national budget, so always check the current year's rates.
