7 allowances you might want to use before the tax year ends.

Utilise these 7 allowances before the tax year concludes to potentially lessen your tax burden and optimise your financial portfolio:

1. Marriage Allowance:

The Marriage Allowance empowers your spouse or civil partner to transfer some of their unused Personal Allowance— the threshold before paying Income Tax— to you, effectively expanding your Personal Allowance and potentially reducing your Income Tax liability.

2. ISA Allowance:

An Individual Savings Account (ISA) serves as a tax-efficient method for wealth accumulation and investment. With a Stocks and Shares ISA, you typically evade Dividend Tax and Capital Gains Tax (CGT), while a Cash ISA generates tax-free interest.

 

3.Junior ISA (JISA) Provision:

A Junior ISA extends similar tax advantages as a standard ISA and serves as a practical approach to set aside funds for a child or grandchild, safeguarding their financial future until they reach adulthood.

4.Dividend Allowance:

If you are a business proprietor or own shares in dividend-yielding companies, dividends can augment your income. However, consider potential tax liabilities. Dividends within your Personal Allowance of £12,750 remain tax-free, and those from Stocks and Shares ISAs are similarly exempt. Note the Dividend Allowance reduction to £500 from April 6, 2024.

5.Capital Gains Tax Allowance:

Your Capital Gains Tax (CGT) liability arises from profits on asset sales. Utilize the £6,000 Annual Exempt Amount in 2023/24 before the reduction to £3,000 on April 6, 2024, potentially minimizing your CGT liability.

6.Pension Annual Allowance:

Contributing to a pension grants tax relief at your Income Tax rate. Aim to maximise your £60,000 Annual Allowance, inclusive of your, employer, and tax relief contributions, while considering carryover allowances for up to three years.

7. Inheritance Tax annual exemption

Concerned about Inheritance Tax (IHT) on your estate? Utilise lifetime gifting to diminish your estate size and potential IHT liabilities. Leveraging the annual exemption each tax year can mitigate future IHT obligations for your family.

Take proactive steps to leverage these allowances before the tax year's end to optimise your financial position and potentially mitigate tax liabilities.
