As the UK tax year-end approaches on 5 April, it’s an excellent time for you to review your business finances and explore tax planning opportunities, particularly if you are self-employed. Tax planning can help you to reduce tax liabilities, boost your cash flow and put you in a stronger financial position.
Let’s explore some areas that you could think about.
Capital allowances
One key area to consider is capital allowances. If your business invests in equipment, vehicles, or machinery, you may be eligible for tax relief under the Annual Investment Allowance. Reviewing these purchases before the tax year-end can help make sure that you don’t miss out on a valuable deduction.
Pension contributions
Another potential benefit lies in pension contributions. By contributing to employee or director pensions before the tax deadline, you can potentially lower your taxable profit while promoting loyalty in your staff.
R&D activities
If your company has engaged in innovation, you could be eligible for tax credits under the Research and Development Tax Relief scheme. These credits can provide a significant boost.
