January Headline from Quayside
Looking Back, Moving Forward
Last year, as Quayside celebrated turning 10, we set ourselves a big challenge: raising £10,000 for the Pied Piper Appeal. We’re proud to say we reached that milestone, thanks to the support and effort of our team and community here in Gloucester.
As 2026 unfolds, we’re excited to continue giving back, this year supporting Meningitis Now. And with the end of another tax year approaching, we’ll also be sharing tips, reminders, and key dates to help you make the most of your allowances before 5 April.
Here’s to another year of meaningful milestones and financial planning made simple.

Year-End Tax Planning for Company Directors
As another tax year comes to a close, it’s a good time for company directors to consider year-end tax planning. While every situation is different, there are a few areas directors often review to make the most of their financial opportunities:
1. Managing Personal Income Tax
Directors often have a mix of salaries, bonuses, and benefits. Year-end planning can help review these elements and explore ways to keep your income tax as efficient as possible.
2. Tax-Smart Dividend Planning
If you receive dividends from your company, thinking about how they’re drawn before the year-end can help make them more tax-efficient, potentially supporting better overall outcomes.
3. Retirement and Pension Opportunities
Directors may have unique opportunities when it comes to retirement planning. Reviewing contributions to pensions or other retirement accounts before 5 April can help align long-term plans with current allowances.
