Tax and Financial
Strategies 2018/19
The UK economy continues to face a number of ongoing
challenges. Meanwhile, the tax system is also facing
significant changes, as taxes become increasingly devolved,
and the introduction of the new Making Tax Digital
regime moves ever closer.
This guide is designed to help you to make the most of your business and your personal
finances, by highlighting the main tax allowances and incentives and suggesting strategies
that you might wish to incorporate into your own financial planning.
Of course, minimising the tax liability represents just one element of your overall planning
strategy. Every individual and business situation is different, and your needs will vary
according to your own specific circumstances. We recommend that you use this guide as a
starting point, and contact us for expert, tailored advice on any areas which apply to you.
As your advisers, we can help you to clarify your wider objectives, and suggest a range of
strategies to help you achieve your personal and business goals.
