When investing your capital is at risk
The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate taxation advice
You pay tax on virtually everything, from your income to shopping, your return on savings and even your pension. It can sometimes seem like you’re giving more to the government than you’re keeping.
Of course, the government needs this money to maintain services across the UK. That doesn’t mean you should be giving them more than you have to. Developing tax planning strategies will allow you to minimise your tax due and maximise your savings. This will help put you in the best possible financial situation. You’ll also know in advance what is due and when it’s due.
In addition, tax planning means ensuring you’re complying with all relevant laws and taking advantage of all available tax incentives and allowances. Naturally, this can be a complicated process as there are many rules and regulations surrounding tax. We can help you by creating a personalised tax strategy to ensure your money works in your interests.
Tax planning involves understanding and utilising the available tax reliefs. This often includes maximising your ISA contributions. In tax year 2024/2025, you are allowed to put up to £20,000 in total into one or several ISA's tax-free. You should also maximise your tax deductions and look at capital gains tax allowances where appropriate.
Your finances and potential tax strategy are unique. We understand this and will work with you, ensuring you know what is possible and what is most likely to be beneficial to you and your personal circumstances.
Lynas Vokes specialise in offering financial advice on a variety of topics, including investments, pensions and tax planning. We’ll start by discussing your finances, specifically income and expenditure. This will help us identify where you can make tax savings.
We regularly monitor your tax planning strategy to ensure you’re aware of any new developments, changes that need to be made and our recommendations. Of course, you can also easily contact us with questions or for an update/additional advice.

Tax planning is legal in the UK. It’s essential to understand what tax is due and when, ensuring you are always ready to pay. However, tax avoidance schemes and particularly aggressive tax planning can focus more on avoiding paying tax as opposed to minimising your tax bill.
Trying to avoid paying tax is a criminal offence and could result in hefty fines and potentially criminal charges. To make sure you stay within the confines of tax planning laws you need to be familiar with the general anti-abuse rule (GAAR) and the tax avoidance disclosure regime. These help the government locate tax evasion.
Ignorance of the laws is not a defence. That’s why you should engage the services of a professional tax planner, such as ourselves. We’ll work hard to ensure you take advantage of all available tax breaks, without breaking the law.
