TYPICAL SCENARIOS
The director of a limited business must submit a yearly self-assessment to HMRC that includes employment, dividends, rentals, and sole trader income. Allowances include personal pension contributions.
Tax-free rental income of up to £1,000 is allowed. You must report if it’s more than £10,000 before allowable expenses or between £2,500 to £9,999 after allowable expenses.
You can pass on your wealth to loved ones without the taxman taking a big bite out of the inheritance. The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40%, and it’s only charged on the part of your estate above the tax-free threshold, which is currently £325,000.
Any profits that fall within the limits of the Capital Gains Tax allowance are exempt from taxation. Those who file their taxes using the self-assessment option and sell assets for more than four times the allowance amount are required to record their profits.
