Could you be more financially savvy this tax year?

Graphic of people planning their investments

March, and spring more generally, is often a time for fresh starts. And now your tax allowances are getting one too. The new tax year begins on 6 April, giving you time to plan how you’ll use all those new allowances to your advantage.

Take your ISA allowance. It can be tempting to leave it until the last minute to use it up. But, if you’re able to pay into it at the beginning of the year, you’re potentially getting a whole extra 12 months of time for your savings to grow.

A review right at the start of the tax year, or just before it, can also help us spot if there are any tax incentives you could use throughout the year.

You might be surprised just how many people don’t do this - and miss out on money that’s rightfully theirs. These tax incentives can be things like increasing your pension contributions or charitable giving to help offset your income tax.

I can also draw up a cashflow model to bring this to life. The model allows us to explore and compare different strategies and scenarios, so you can see the difference it will make to your long-term finances and goals.

If you want to find out more about the savvy financial strategies I could help you with this tax year, feel free to get in touch.

J Higgins

Shazana has been my financial advisor for almost 20 years. When she took over she conducted a complete review of my investment portfolio as my circumstances had changed. After discussing my financial needs and objectives she made a number of very sensible proposals to simplify the management of my portfolio and cut costs.

Significant life events, the death of my wife, retirement, remarriage and establishing my sons in their own homes have been managed in an effective and thoughtful manner. Throughout she has been calm and patient and a fund of good, sensible, advice on the options open to me when changes arose. She also understood my difficulties in making, sometime quite complex, decisions.

I have had a good relationship with Shazana for many years now. Initially she advised me on dealing with my financial affairs as a self-employed freelance translator and more recently has given me guidance on organising my income as I move towards retirement. She keeps abreast of what is happening in the financial world in these changing times and all the investments she has recommended to me have proved sound and successful. As a person who is not particularly ‘financially savvy’ I appreciate the way she makes all the arrangements very clear and easy to follow. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
