Mastering the Basics

Tax Planning Tips For Creatives

■ Review Your Structure Annually

As your income grows, the optimal business structure can change.

■ Maximise Pension Contributions

Pension contributions reduce your taxable income — one of the most tax-efficient moves available.

■ Claim All Allowable Expenses

Equipment, subscriptions, home office, travel — it all counts.

■ Time Income and Expenses Carefully

Deferring income or accelerating expenses into the right tax year can reduce your bill.

■ Use Your Allowances

Personal allowance, dividend allowance, CGT exemption — use them all.
