High taxation is one of the reasons 10,000 millionaires left the UK last year. Check out my video on this.

As the tax year draws to a close, now is the perfect time to review your finances and take advantage of last-minute tax-saving opportunities. In the latest episode of the Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast, we break down essential end-of-tax-year tips to help you reduce your tax bill legally and keep more of your hard-earned money.

1. Maximize Your ISA Allowance

You can save up to £20,000 tax-free in an Individual Savings Account (ISA). If you haven’t used your full allowance, now is the time to top it up.

2. Utilize Pension Contributions

Contributing to your pension not only grows your retirement fund but also reduces taxable income, with tax relief of up to 45% for higher earners. We don’t know how long this tax concession will last.

3. Claim Allowable Expenses

Self-employed? Ensure you claim all deductible expenses, such as home office costs, travel, and professional fees, to lower your taxable profit.

4. Use Capital Gains Allowance

Sell assets strategically to take advantage of the current capital gains tax-free allowance before it resets in the new tax year.

5. Gift Money IHT Tax-Free

Use your annual £3,000 inheritance tax gift allowance to pass on wealth without tax implications. Use it or lose it.

6. Use your accountant, tax specialist, financial adviser and other professionals to save you money.

Good advice can save you a fortune. Invest in yourself.

Buy-to-Let UK Property Companies SOAR After Section 24 Tax on Landlords

Buy-to-Let UK Property Companies Soar After Section 24 Tax on Landlords

The number of UK buy-to-let property companies listed at Companies House has soared to record levels since George Osbourne introduced his ‘Section 24’ tax bombshell on landlords.

If you are stuck in the Section 24 tax trap contact me at charles@charleskelly.net to arrange a free consultation with a property tax specialist.

There are now over 400,000 limited property companies registered, more than any other businesses and four times as many as fast food firms. Since 2016 there has been a fourfold rise in incorporated buy-to-let businesses, much of which is due to George Osbourne’s ‘Section 24’ tax hike on landlords.

The change in the law meant that buy-to-let landlords with properties held in their own names could no longer offset mortgage interest against their rent (pre-profit gross income).

Almost 700,000 properties are now held in limited companies, rather than in individual names, which has become the standard method used to buy investment property in the UK.

Inflation Jumps To 3% Dashing Hopes Of Interest Rate Cut

Inflation Jumps To 3% Dashing Hopes Of Interest Rate Cut

The Bank of England cut base interest rates from 4.75% to 4.5% in February, their lowest level for 18 months and raising hopes of further cuts in 2025.

But now inflation has reared its ugly head again with an unexpected rise to 3%, largely driven by higher government borrowing and spending, as well as public sector pay rises.

See video version - https://youtu.be/7Sc0oL4BHdM

Mortgage holders and property buyers were hoping that the Bank of England would continue cutting rates this year and whilst this could still happen there is unlikely to be a further cut when the bank’s monetary committee meets on 20 March.

Higher interest rates have a direct impact on how much you can borrow to buy a property, as the banks apply strict affordability criteria. However, the government has talked about easing mortgage lending to stimulate the flagging market and help first time buyers.

Higher stamp duty does NOTHING to help people who want to buy their own home.
