Six business and saving pointers

When our customers avoid tax by our work we get a great sense of job satisfaction.

For those people in their 30s and 40s, perhaps now breadwinners for the family, and in mid-career or running a business, there are a wealth of planning ideas to help you avoid tax.

Consider the following six strategies before the year end:

  1. Sharing your wealth with your spouse or partner, by splitting capital and income to take maximum advantage of tax allowances and rates.
  2. Drawing up a business exit plan, which includes profit maximisation, business structure, valuation, disposal, retirement planning and investment strategies.
  3. Restructuring your personal and business debt. Is it time to review your loan arrangements or pay off your credit cards?
  4. Are you investing in a pension policy or pension scheme, and if so should you maximise the amounts you and your employer invest?
  5. Investigating the range of tax-efficient investment products on offer, including ISAs, pensions, property, and schemes such as the Venture Capital Trust and the Film Finance Scheme.
  6. Conducting a business healthcheck. Is your business structure tax efficient? What could you do to improve profitability?

We can help you to attain your personal and business goals, by identifying areas where a small change could make a big difference.
