The information on income tax is not readily available, however, information published by HMRC about taxable incomes is as follows.

The 2018-19 Survey of Personal Incomes provides an estimate for income from property in Table 3.7 and total income estimates are provided in Table 3.3. Income from property was estimated at £21.5 billion in 2018-19 and total income across all income types was estimated at £1,120 billion. Income from property therefore represents around 2 per cent of total income.
