Women receive less investment income from property, dividends and savings interest
Women are investing less than their male peers and the gap is getting wider year by year for high earners, according to the latest figures from HM Revenue & Customs.
In 2011-12, the gap between what men and women earned as income on their investments was £9.6bn. In 2015-16 — the most recent figures available — this gap had increased by 151 per cent to £24.1bn.
The annual Survey of Personal Incomes, published by HMRC, has revealed that women with a taxable income of £100,000 or more made £10.7bn from their investments in 2015-16, compared with the £34.7bn made by men in the same income bracket. This compares with £3.9bn made by high-earning females in 2011-12 and £13.5bn made by men.
