The end of the Tax Year

We are approaching the end of the Tax Year and it is a good time to ensure we are all taking advantage of all of the tax allowances available, including the Personal Tax Allowance, the ISA (Individual Savings Account) allowance, the Capital Gains Tax allowance, etc.


Use your Capital Gains Tax Allowance if you have investments that have gone up in value. You can realise tax-free profits of up to £10,600. As with your ISA allowance, you cannot carry this forward. Use it or lose it!

Maximise your pension contributions where possible. In the current Tax Year you can put a maximum of £50,000 into your pension, and even more if you have not used up your pension payment allowance in the preceding three years. In the new Tax Year this maximum reduces to £40,000. We would be pleased to assist.
