Below is a basic summary of the tax relief available through ISA and Pension investments.
ISA
The total amount you can save in ISAs in the 2019/20 tax year is £20,000. You can choose to use your ISA allowance in a cash ISA, a stocks and shares ISA, an innovative finance ISA, a lifetime ISA or any combination of the four as long as you don’t exceed the annual allowance. It’s worth reviewing the substantial tax breaks that ISAs can offer. To start, you don’t pay income tax or capital gains tax on the returns from an ISA. In addition, you are not required to include ISAs in your tax return, nor any income or growth from them. Finally, your money can continue to benefit from these tax advantages as long as it remains invested in an ISA. Our investment advisers can assist you in reviewing your options *Tax rules may change in the future and tax treatment depends on your personal circumstances..
Pension
If you’re a UK taxpayer, in the tax year 2019-20 the standard rule is that you’ll get tax relief on pension contributions of up to 100% of your earnings or a £40,000 annual allowance, whichever is lower. Our pension advisers can assist you in reviewing your options *Tax rules may change in the future and tax treatment depends on your personal circumstances.
If you’re a business owner, your limited company can contribute pre-taxed company income to your pension. Because an employer contribution counts as an allowable business expense, your company receives tax relief against corporation tax, so the company could save on corporation tax.
