This time of year means two things: the Autumn Budget and the end of the tax year is fast approaching on the 5th April 2017, so we’re here to bring you key dates for useful financial steps, to make life that little bit easier.
Here are some key dates for your calendar and some suggestions on financial planning steps to consider before the end of the tax year. Our first suggestion as always is that if you’re going to act before the end of the financial year, don’t leave it until the last minute, the earlier you act the better.
