Tax Planning

Why choose Freedom in Numbers to help you with tax planning?

Tax is a tricky business, and you need to make sure that you understand it to the best of your abilities with proper tax planning.

There are many different types of tax that you pay throughout your life such VAT, property tax, income tax and many others.

Planning your tax payments effectively makes it easier to build your personal finances and afford the things you want, including the sort of retirement you actually want.

By anticipating taxes when you create your financial plan, it’s possible to significantly boost how much money you will have in retirement, and equally minimising the taxes paid to boost that plan.

If this sounds like more of a headache than you thought or is simply not your strong point, we can take care of your tax planning, freeing you up to do the things you like to do in your business.

Tax planning is a way to find out how much you are paying in tax and also a way to help minimise your tax bill (the amount owed to the HMRC) through the use of allowances, deductions, exclusions and exemptions.

This can be used in a number of ways, not just for business. It also includes planning for retirement, wills, and properties.

Short term planning allows you to reduce taxes at the end of the income tax year. Long term plans allow you to plan at the end of the beginning or end of the year.

The Freedom in Numbers team are always on hand to provide support suited to your business, including advice on getting the most out of your finances.

What is tax planning?

Tax planning is the process of minimising a tax liability by making sure you’re making use of all available tax saving opportunities. This includes all available allowances, deductions, exclusions and exemptions, and ensures they are working together in the most tax-efficient manner to reduce the total tax bill.

There is a wide range of reliefs and provisions that are available to legally reduce a tax liability without it becoming tax evasion (which is illegal).

There are two areas of tax planning; those that save tax for your business and personal taxes (business tax planning), and those that save tax regarding your personal assets when you’ve passed away (estate tax planning).

Why is tax planning important?

Tax Planning has an important role to play when considering your financial future.

By carefully considering the tax implications of your financial plans we can reduce the amount of tax you have to pay, for both your business and yourself, meaning more money is retained.

What are the benefits of effective business tax planning?

There are benefits of tax planning for both large and small businesses and planning plays an important role in:

Lowering the amount of taxable income,

Reducing the tax rate,

Allowing greater control of when taxes get paid,

Maximising tax relief/tax credits available.

If you expect to hold a significant profit in your limited company this year, then it may be wise to draw out a large dividend to make use of the £2,000 tax free dividend allowance, and any unused personal allowance, before you pay tax at 7.5% / 32.5% / 38.1% (dividend rate).
