Now that the 31 January deadline is over, its only a few weeks until the end of the tax year so now's the time to start planning.
Take a look at the helpful check list below to see what you could do for you and for your business:
- Review your pension contributions with your financial advisor, if you’re a higher rate tax payer consider further gift aid payments
- Top up those ISAs to the statutory limit with spare funds
- Consider if Marriage Allowance could be helpful – it could save upto £220 in tax https://www.gov.uk/marriage-allowance/how-it-works
- If you are likely to earn more than £50,000 for the first time this tax year, familiarise yourself with the Higher Income Child Benefit Charge rules https://www.gov.uk/child-benefit-tax-charge/overview
- For company owners, consider the timing of dividend payments to stay within tax bands – remember midnight to 5th April 2017 counts as income for 2016/17
- Consider purchasing plant and equipment for your business to reduce tax liabilities
- Get ready for RTI payroll year end and determine if you need to issue any P11Ds - penalties are unlikely to be waived for late submissions!
