Entrepreneurs and personal allowances

Increased Tax Relief for Business Owners

Since April 2023, the main corporation tax rate has risen to 25% for businesses with profits exceeding £250,000. Pension contributions remain a tax-efficient way for business owners to manage their taxable profits. Instead of taking profits as dividends (which are taxed after corporation tax), directing them into an employer pension contribution provides full tax relief, making it a highly efficient strategy.

Retain the Personal Allowance

Personal contributions can help reclaim the personal allowance, which is gradually lost when adjusted net income exceeds £100,000. The allowance is completely lost at £125,140, meaning that pension contributions reducing income within this range offer an effective tax relief rate of 60%.

I am only in this position because of you. One of the best decisions I have ever taken going with GWM.

With great thanks for all your reassuring attention over the last year. It means more to me than I can express in a few words.

I just want to thank you and your team so very much for all you do for me throughout the year. It is a real comfort to know that my investments are in such capable hands. I literally couldn’t do it on my own.

We are both very grateful for the time you spent with us in explaining various options. We certainly feel we now both have a much better understanding of our situation & the decisions which we need to consider moving forward.

Thanks again for your advice, you have given me the kick I needed to take control and I’m very grateful for that.

We feel we can phone at any time during office hours if we need anything clarifying. Our financial adviser knows our personal circumstances and is in tune with our goals and lifestyle. His advice has been and continues to be excellent.

You’ve solved that dilemma for me… Thank you for being so clear and honest as always.
