With the 5 April 2026 fast approaching, here is our Personal Tax Checklist noting pre-tax year end actions you may want to consider.
Notably, you may want to consider paying dividends early ahead of the 2% rate increase on both the basic and higher rate bands (up to 10.75% and 35.75%, respectively), due to take effect from 6 April 2026.
Please note that this is guidance as to common areas of interest to our clients only, if you would like to discuss your personal tax position and any action proposed, please contact your usual Corrigan team or tax@corrigan.co.uk.
