2, profits you make if you’re self-employed - including from services you sell through websites or apps;
3. some state benefits;
4. most pensions, including state pensions, company and personal pensions and retirement annuities;
5. rental income (unless you’re a live-in landlord and get less than the rent a room limit);
6. benefits you get from your job;
7. income from a trust.
You don’t pay tax on things like:
1. interest on savings under your savings allowance;
2. income from tax-exempt accounts, like Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) and National Savings Certificates;
3. the first £5,000 of dividends from company shares;
