UK Tax Planning: What to Decide Before the Year Ends

Corporation Tax, Self Assessment, and the reliefs available before the accounting period closes rather than after.

Corporation Tax and the accounting period

Rates, marginal relief, and why the accounting period date matters more than the calendar year when it comes to planning.

Self Assessment for directors

Dividends versus salary, and the return that is due whether or not HMRC sends a reminder about it.

VAT and payroll obligations

Registration thresholds, the flat rate scheme, and PAYE once the first employee joins the business.

Reliefs worth checking before year end

R&D relief, capital allowances, and pension contributions made while there is still time left to use them.

Written for general guidance. Thresholds and deadlines differ by jurisdiction and change often, so check your own position with an advisor before acting on it.
