The new tax year starts 6 April 2023 so you have a few weeks to consider your options relating to Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. Once we pass this date most of the tax planning options will cease unless actioned before the 6 April.

Do you fall into any of these categories?

  • You have or are thinking about a change in your personal status (single, married, separating, joining or dissolving a civil partnership).
  • You are thinking about selling a capital asset, such as shares or a property. From 6 April 2023 the Capital Gains Tax annual exempt amount reduces from £12,300 to £6,000.
  • You or your child’s other parent claims Child Benefit and the income of either parent is likely to exceed £50,000 for the first time during tax year 2022-23;
  • Your annual income is approaching or above £100,000;
  • You have not yet topped up your pension contributions for tax year 2022-23;
  • You are self-employed with a 31 March 2023 year-end;
  • You are self-employed and are thinking about the purchase of equipment or vehicles; or
  • You are the director and/or shareholder of a limited company and have not yet considered voting final dividends or bonuses for 2022-23. 

If you or your business is in one of these categories and you need some help ahead of the 6 April deadline please get in touch. You can contact us by email at enquiries@torgersens.com.
