🔍 1. Don’t Miss Allowable Expenses
Working for yourself or running a business? Make sure you’re claiming everything you’re entitled to, from home office costs to travel and software subscriptions. Small claims add up fast.

⏳ 2. Use Your Allowances Before You Lose Them
Keep an eye on your Personal Allowance, Dividend Allowance, and Annual Investment Allowance. If you don’t use them within the tax year, they’re gone.

💡 3. Higher Tax Bracket Earners: Don’t Miss Pension Tax Relief
If you’re a higher or additional rate taxpayer, pension contributions can be seriously powerful. You automatically get 20% basic rate relief, but you can claim extra through your tax return 🤯. That could mean a tax refund or reduced tax, many people don’t realise they’re owed this.

🧾 4. Keep Records Like a Pro
HMRC can ask for records going back years. Cloud accounting tools = less stress, fewer headaches, and no shoeboxes full of receipts.

📆 5. Plan Ahead for Payments on Account
If you’re self-employed, don’t get caught off guard. Set money aside early so those January and July payments don’t sting.

🚗 6. Check Your Benefit-in-Kind (BIK)
Company car? Private healthcare? These perks can affect your tax, make sure you know what’s taxable and what’s not.
