What is the most you can earn in a year in the UK without having to pay taxes?

If you earn only 5000 pounds in a year do you still have to pay taxes on it? Is there a maximum you can make without having to pay taxes? and at what amount does the lowest tax bracket end? Curious because my company(tiny company) is based in the UK and I think that the general rule is that you don't want to be at the bottom of your tax bracket when that time of year comes around.

To get a really accurate answer you must look at the Inland Revenue and Customs internet site.

i reckon each person is allowed to earn about 5000拢 a year, untaxed, and im pretty sure that the will keep taking tax from the start, but if you were to stop earning, and earn under 拢5000 you'd get your tax back

About 拢5500 if you've not got any kids. That's called your personal allowance.
It really depends what your tax code is, if it's 522L you can earn 拢5,220 in one tax year before paying any tax. Whatever your tax code is put a 0 at the end and that's how much you can earn a year before tax.
your tax free amount is shown on your tax code. e.g 522L meaning you can earn 拢5220 before you are taxed. Check your payslip, your tax code should be on it.

522L is a basic code, other factors are counted when the tax office work out your code such as a company car etc.
