Essential To-Do Tasks Before the UK Tax Year Ends on 5th April As we approach the end of the UK tax year on 5th April, now is the time to take action and ensure you’ve done everything possible to minimise your tax liabilities and maximise your allowances. Whether you’re a business owner, self-employed, or simply looking to optimise your personal finances, these final weeks are crucial.  Many tax reliefs and allowances operate on a use-it-or-lose-it basis, meaning that once the new tax year begins, any unused benefits will be lost forever. With tax thresholds tightening and changes on the horizon, taking advantage of what’s available now can make a real difference to your finances. In this guide, we’ll walk you through five essential tasks to complete before the tax year ends. These steps will help you keep more of your hard-earned money while staying compliant with HMRC regulations. 1. Use Up Your Tax-Free Allowances The UK tax system provides several annual allowances that can help you reduce your tax bill, but if they aren’t used before 5th April, they reset and are lost. The Personal Allowance for the 2023/24 tax year is £12,570, meaning income up to this amount is tax-free. If you have flexibility over how you receive income - such as salary, dividends, or bonuses - you may want to adjust your payments to ensure you fully utilise this tax-free amount.
