Monthly Headline

For company directors, year-end tax planning can bring some great financial benefits. Here are three main benefits:

  1. Optimising Personal Income Tax: Directors often earn salaries, bonuses, and other benefits. With smart yearend tax planning, you can manage your personal income tax more efficiently.
  2. Tax-Smart Dividend Planning: If you're receiving dividends from your company, year-end tax planning can help you help maximize the tax efficiency of those payouts.
  3. Retirement and Pension Planning: Directors have some unique opportunities when it comes to retirement and pension planning. Yearend is a great time to make the most of contributions to retirement accounts like Individual Retirement Accounts or other pension schemes. It's a good idea for directors to team up with tax pros or financial advisors to fine-tune their year-end planning to fit their specific situation.

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 depends on individual circumstances.
