Seven allowances to make use of before the end of the 2023-2024 tax year.

Checking if you could make use of these tax allowances before Friday 5 April 2024 might help your money go further.

For historical reasons, the tax year in the UK begins on 6 April and ends on 5 April the following year. So the current tax year ends on Friday 5 April 2024.

When a new tax year starts, many allowances reset. So, checking if you could make use of allowances before Friday 5 April 2024, might help your financial situation.

It’s important to understand which allowances fit into your financial plan and suit your goals.

To help you with this process, we have produced our Guide to Annual Tax Allowances. This details seven allowances that you can potentially make use of before 5 April 2024. Please click on the link below to read or download it.

If you’d like to discuss how allowances could fit into your financial plan and which ones you may want to use before the end of the current tax year, we could help.

It’s not too soon to make a plan for the 2024/25 tax year either. Thinking about which allowances could make sense for you may help you manage your outgoings. For example, you might choose to make monthly deposits into your ISA rather than contribute a lump sum at the end of the tax year.

Please contact us to talk about your finances and how allowances may help you get more out of your money.
