Tax planning

Tax planning guide

Tax planning is arranging your affairs in ways that legitimately defer, reduce and remove taxes. 

Introduction

By using effective tax planning strategies you have more money available to help you achieve your financial goals and the effect of this over time can be very significant.

Tax planning should not be done in isolation and should be driven by your overall financial goals and integrated within your financial plan. By developing and implementing appropriate strategies to lessen or shift current and future tax liabilities you can improve your prospects of meeting short, medium and long-term objectives.

There are numerous tax planning strategies available to you and it is not unusual for more than one tax planning
strategy to be used in order to meet your financial goals. Tax rules can be complex and frequently change so obtaining independent financial advice from Lucas Fettes Financial Planning before making financial decisions is advised.

Tax planning is crucial whilst you are building up your savings, as reducing the amount of tax you incur will help your fund grow, and make more income available to assist in achieving your future plans. It is also critical when you look to draw on your assets, as lower tax incurred means you will draw less to meet your net income needs, helping your assets last longer.
