Reminder! Boost your Tax Efficient Savings! The tax year ends on April 5th

What do I need to do?

1. ISA: Can you maximise the amount you are saving tax-free? Don’t forget, you can save up to £20,000 every year
2. Pension Annual Allowance: The tax-relief on your pension up to £40,000 based on the full Annual Allowance. Can you top this up before April?

Things to watch out for:

1. The pension annual allowance has potential pit falls if you are a higher earner.
2. You may be able to ‘carry over’ annual allowance if you haven’t used it in the previous years.
3. Your annual allowance may be lower than £40,000 if you have flexibly accessed your pension
4. If you have more than one pension it may be beneficial to ask for statements so that you can check what allowance you have remaining.
