Professional Tax Planning Explained

In a perfect world, tax planning should be a year-round activity – and a very important part of your overall financial strategy. At CloudCo, we offer our clients good professional advice and assist with judicious planning, in order to achieve considerable gains and savings.

Our tax planning encompasses income tax, corporation tax, capital gain tax, and inheritance tax, however, we also offer tax planning in relation to VAT, national insurance, and stamp duty if required. One of the most optimum times to carry out tax planning is when your business is starting up or restructuring, in order to make sure that the tax consequences are presented with the operational considerations in mind. Failure to do so, can severely impact your business.

By letting us assist with your personal tax planning, will ensure that you either avoid excessive cash outflows or at the very least predict and plan for when they’ll occur. Furthermore, thanks to our effective tax planning, your business can benefit from a competitive edge. Plus, any cash advantage that your business has available can then be used to invest in other areas of your business or simply to increase your working capital.

Tax Planning Tips To Remember

Tax planning is easier said than done. If you want to remain in compliance with HMRC and ensure that your allowances and available tax relief are properly assessed, then follow our top tips:

Do not purchase assets simply to obtain capital allowances in order to reduce your taxable profits.
Similarly do not deliberately incur losses in your business simply to create tax losses and reduce your tax bill.
There are times when making substantial gifts can result in considerable tax benefits. Take care not to give away too much too early and make sure that the financial welfare of you and your family is adequately protected.
Be aware of the effects of inflation – especially when assessing your future needs.
Do not draw too rigid a distinction between income and capital in your planning.
Good planning sometimes involves spending capital as well as income.
Remember, tax rules change, so try to avoid planning for events that take a long time to come to fruition. Always keep your plans flexible so that you can adapt them when the rules do change.
Do not put off tax-saving measures. But do make the most of opportunities while they last.
Provided you can afford a particular planning arrangement, and it makes sense regardless of whether or not the law changes, do not delay implementing it.
Finally, be sure to seek professional advice. The tax laws are complex, and expertise is required in order to optimise your tax position.

Personal Tax Planning FAQs

What is the difference between tax planning and tax avoidance?

It is important to understand that both of these methods can result in a reduction on the amount of taxes you will pay each tax year. But planning is a means to ensure that paying tax on income is always accounted for, based on projections for the tax year. Tax avoidance, however, involves bending the rules of the tax system in order to gain an advantage. It often involves contrived, artificial transactions that serve little or no purpose other than to produce a need to operate within the law, but against the essential rules that come with paying tax. At CloudCo Accountancy Group, you can rest assured that we always work with integrity and would never give out unethical advice to our clients.

What are tax planning strategies?

These strategies are an asset which allow taxpayers to plan ahead using finance calculations that are significant for each individual year. Tax planning can account for national insurance contributions, money owed and grossed, investment portfolios, pension payments, savings accumulated as well as income tax paid across all of these fields.

How far back can HMRC go?

For something like evasion, HMRC can go back as far as 20 years in their search. But generally, they will only delve back as far as 4-6 years if avoidance is suspected.

What are examples of tax avoidance?

Some examples of tax avoidance would be paying too little tax, putting your money into a savings account to avoid income tax, funnelling money into a questionable financial scheme, not paying income tax on investment property, or failure to report contributions.

How do you do individual tax planning?

Individual planning for taxpayers can be done without the need for accountancy services, but this can become quite complicated, especially if you have multiple assets, make many contributions, or have property that fall into different schemes. Therefore we would always recommend that you seek support from a planning agency.
