Is it time to start thinking about your end of year tax planning?

Seven allowances to make use of before 5 April 2024.

For historical reasons, the tax year in the UK begins on 6 April and ends on 5 April the following year. So the current tax year ends on Friday 5 April 2024.

Whilst many people do their tax planning at the last minute, it is always worth taking steps to manage your reliefs and allowances throughout the tax year. If you delay until the last minute, you may find yourself short of time to fully realise what is available to you.

A prudent course of action would be to work with our financial advisers throughout the year. This allows time to ensure you don’t pay more tax than you need to and that your finances are set up in a tax-efficient manner, to help meet your individual financial needs and objectives.

To help this process, we have produced our guide to annual tax allowances. This details seven allowances that you can potentially make use of before 5 April 2024. Please click on the link below to read or download it.

And if you would like some professional help with your tax planning and financial affairs, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
