Your Tax year-end guide
If you're unsure where to begin, our Tax year-end guide is a great place to start. In just 20 minutes, you’ll learn how to choose the ISA that suits you best, maximise your tax benefits, and see how regular contributions fit into your wider financial plan.
Make your money work harder for you
There are three main ways to ensure you’re making the most of your reliefs and allowances before the end of the tax year on 5th April 2026.
ISAs
Save up to £20,000 per year in an ISA, or £9,000 in a Junior ISA, with tax efficient returns. Remember, unused allowances can't be carried over, so consider maximising contributions throughout the tax year.
Pensions
Because of the Income Tax relief you get on the money you pay into your pot, a pension – used as part of a balanced investment portfolio – is one of the best ways to save for your retirement. This tax year, you can contribute subject to certain allowances. Tax relief on personal contributions is limited to either up to 100% of your relevant earnings in the tax year, subject to the annual allowance of £60,000, or £3,600 if you earn less than this.
Capital Gains Tax
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) can be one of the most complex taxes, so it’s no wonder people fall into the trap of paying unnecessarily, or end up being fined for not paying when they should.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested.
The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time. The value of any tax relief is generally dependent on individual circumstances.
