About this lesson
This video covers who pays income tax, how the UK tax year works (6 April to 5 April), and the crucial difference between UK residents—taxed on worldwide income—and non-UK residents, who only pay UK tax on UK-sourced income. Understanding residency is essential for ATX questions, as it significantly affects a taxpayer's overall tax liability.
