Smart moves for big plans

Your tax efficient allowances reset each year, so tax year end is a great moment to top up, start investing, or rethink your goals.

Why act now?

The earlier you start the more time you have to make the most of the current tax year before the new one starts. Every tax year gives new opportunity to:

  • make the most of your allowances
  • potentially reduce the amount of tax you pay
  • give your long-term goals a boost.
 

Changes to tax and allowances

The Autumn Budget announcement had some upcoming changes that could impact you:

  • Rising dividend tax from April 2026.
  • Higher tax on savings from April 2027.
  • Cash ISA allowances reducing from April 2027 for under 65s.

The government wants more people to think about investing for the long term. Staying informed can help you make decisions that work for your future.

Pensions

Investing for longer increases the likelihood of positive returns. Over a period of 5 years or more, investments usually give you a higher return compared to cash savings. But investments can go down as well as up in value, so you could get back less than you put in.
