🚀 Maximise Your Tax Savings Before Year-End: Secure Your Retirement Future🌟

As we approach the end of the tax year, it's the perfect time to ensure that you are making the most of the available tax breaks and opportunities to boost your pension pot. Planning for your retirement is a crucial aspect of financial security, and by leveraging various allowances and reliefs, you can pave the way for a more comfortable and rewarding future. 💰

1) Unleash the Power of ISAs and Pensions:

💼 Your ISAs and pensions serve as the building blocks for your retirement income. They provide a haven for your dividends, interest, and profits, making your money go further. Make sure to use your full pension annual allowance, which stands at £60,000 for the 2023-24 tax year. Remember, you can carry forward any unused allowance from the past three tax years, but contributions should not exceed 100% of your earnings or £3,600, whichever is lower, to receive personal tax relief.

2) Capitalise on Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Exemptions:

📈 If you plan to sell assets outside your ISA or pension, act before the tax year-end to benefit from the £6,000 CGT exemption for 2023/24. This allowance drops to £3,000 in 2024/25, so it's a 'use-it-or-lose-it' opportunity. Additionally, consider the Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) – up to £1,000 of tax-free interest for basic-rate taxpayers.🏆

3) Diving into Dividends:

💸 Explore the tax advantages of dividends earned from shares held in ISAs or received by pensions – more tax efficient! 🚀 Outside these wrappers, you can earn up to £1,000 tax-free on dividends, but this allowance is decreasing to £500 in 2024/25. Be mindful of the varying tax rates for different income levels.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up.  You may get back less than you invested.

The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax relief generally depends on individual circumstances.
