Tax Planning Brighton
Proactive tax planning for Brighton individuals and businesses — year-end planning, pension contributions, income splitting and more. Advice before the year closes, not after.
Tax planning is about timing
Most accountants file your return after the year ends and tell you what you owe. That's too late to change anything. Good tax planning happens before your year end closes — when you can still act. That's what we do.
Proactive, not reactive
We contact you before your year end — not after — so there's still time to make decisions that reduce your bill.
Legitimate strategies only
Everything we advise is fully compliant. We don't do aggressive schemes — we find the genuine reliefs and allowances you're entitled to.
Numbers-based advice
We model the actual impact of each planning opportunity with your real numbers, not generic guidance.
Year-round availability
Tax planning isn't a once-a-year conversation. We're available throughout the year when decisions need to be made.
How we reduce your tax bill
Year-End Planning
Before your accounting year closes — timing of income, expenditure, and investment decisions to optimise your position.
Pension Contributions
Pension contributions are one of the most powerful tax planning tools available. We calculate the optimal amount.
Income Splitting
Using a spouse or partner's allowances and lower tax rates legitimately — particularly effective for property investors.
Profit Extraction
For company directors — the most tax-efficient combination of salary, dividends and pension each year.
Property Tax Planning
Section 24, CGT timing, ownership structure — property is one of the most tax-planning-intensive asset classes.
Capital Gains Planning
Timing of disposals, use of annual exemption, losses — we plan CGT positions before assets are sold.
Frequently asked questions
When should I start tax planning?
Before your tax year ends. For most people that's before 5 April each year. For companies, before your accounting year end. Contact us 2–3 months before your year end and we'll review your position.
Is tax planning legal?
Yes — legitimate tax planning uses reliefs and allowances that Parliament has specifically created. It's entirely different from tax evasion or aggressive avoidance schemes, which we don't do.
How much can tax planning save me?
It varies significantly. For a company director, proper salary and dividend planning often saves thousands per year. For a property investor, the right ownership structure can make a material difference. We model the numbers with you.
Do you offer tax planning as a standalone service?
Yes, though most clients find it works best alongside their annual accounts or self assessment — we can see the full picture and plan accordingly.
