Are you creeping into the higher-rate tax band?

A pension contribution doesn't just help fund your retirement — it can also extend your basic rate tax band, meaning more of your income is taxed at 20% rather than 40%.

📊 Example:

Income: £65,000

Gross Pension Contribution: £10,000

✅ Basic rate band extended by £10,000

✅ £10,000 of income that would have been taxed at 40% is instead taxed at 20%

✅ Potential tax saving of £2,000

Plus, your pension receives tax relief at the same time.

It's one of the most effective tax planning opportunities available for business owners and higher earners.

Did you know that providing a mobile phone to a director or employee can be completely tax-free?

​That means no Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax for the employee, and no National Insurance for the employer. But to stay on HMRC’s good side, you must follow the golden rule:

​⚠️ The Golden Rule: The phone contract MUST be in the limited company’s name and paid directly from the company bank account.

​The Best Part? * The company can claim corporation tax relief on the entire bill.
​HMRC allows one phone per employee, and reasonable private use is fully permitted.

​Are your company phones set up correctly?

Did you know your business miles could lower your tax bill? 🚗💼

If you use your vehicle for work-related travel, you may qualify for a mileage tax deduction. Common deductible trips can include:

✔️ Driving to meet clients
✔️ Traveling between job sites
✔️ Business errands or supply runs
✔️ Temporary work locations

To claim the deduction, it’s important to keep accurate records of:
📍 Date of trip
📍 Purpose of travel
📍 Starting and ending mileage

Good recordkeeping can make a big difference during tax season.

Tip: Commuting from home to your regular workplace usually does NOT qualify as deductible mileage.

If you’re self-employed or own a small business, tracking mileage consistently could save you money at tax time.
