Your Tax Year End Checklist
Have you taken advantage of all the tax allowances available to you? Act before 5th April.
For individuals there are four main considerations to keep in mind:
- Maximising your ISA allowances
- Ensuring you’re contributing to your retirement with a pension
- Giving your children or grandchildren a financial head start
- Being aware of your tax allowances

Whether you’re looking to open a personal pension, transfer your ISA or combine different savings pots into a single tax-saving account, we have several options to help you.
Account options

- No capital gains tax on profits.
- No tax on dividends from shares or the income earned on bonds.

Tax Year End Deadline
2025/26 Tax Year ends at midnight on April 5th
Don't miss out
Make sure you understand the exemptions and allowances available to you, so you don’t miss out. Tax years run from April 6th to April 5th and in most cases, if you don’t use the various allowances before the end of the tax year, they are lost forever.
Which account is right for me?
ISAs, self-invested personal pensions, and Junior ISAs offer opportunities to shelter your potential returns from tax. Thinking about your personal circumstances, such as whether you need flexible cash withdrawals, can help you understand which account type is most suitable.
