Direct investors at tax year end

Last Updated: 19 Jan 23 5 min watch

Event summary

Tax Year End is a time where many routine planning jobs will be considered, making use of the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exemption, making your ISA contributions and possibly getting your portfolio in the best shape for the coming tax year.

For many years this may have become almost business as usual. But given the changes to dividend and CGT in the Autumn Statement, it’s perhaps a tax year to pause for thought.
