What are personal tax planning strategies? 

Examples of tax planning strategies include: 

• Saving in ISAs: Individuals Savings Accounts (ISAs) offer tax-free investments up to an annual limit of investment. ISAs are available to all individuals and offer tax efficient savings. 
• Making charitable donations: Charitable donations can increase your basis rate band, meaning more of your income is taxed at the basic rate. 
• Paying additional pension contributions: Making additional contributions to your pension pot can reduce your taxable income, resulting in a lower tax liability. 
• Making the most of the dividend and savings allowance: Some individuals are eligible to the dividend and savings allowance. These tax-free allowances mean some individuals are not taxed on their first dividend and savings income up to certain thresholds. 
• Transferring income to a spouse or civil partner: You may be able to transfer up to £1,260 of your personal allowance to or from your husband, wife or civil partner. 
• Using tax efficient investment schemes such as Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs), (Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Schemes (SEIS): Investing in certain schemes may entitle you to tax relief up to certain maximum investment levels.
