What is tax planning?
Tax planning involves looking at how your income, savings, investments, pensions and other assets are structured and considering the tax implications of your financial decisions.
Rather than looking at tax in isolation, we consider how different areas of your finances work together.
This can be particularly important if you are:
-
A higher or additional-rate taxpayer
-
Building or managing a significant investment portfolio
-
Approaching retirement
-
Making pension contributions
-
Selling investments or other assets
-
Planning to pass wealth on to your family
-
Reviewing your overall financial arrangements
Why plan ahead?
Tax planning is most effective when considered before a financial decision is made.
A major investment, pension contribution, sale of an asset, change in income or decision to pass wealth to your family can all have tax consequences.
Planning ahead gives you the opportunity to consider your options rather than dealing with the tax implications afterwards.
