Personal tax can be overwhelming! Whether it’s dealing with

income tax
capital gains tax, or
inheritance tax

It’s important to understand your responsibilities and ensure you’re paying only what’s necessary while staying compliant with the rules.

From self-assessment to more complex issues, managing taxes requires the right guidance and expertise.

At Apex Accountants, we simplify the process for you. How does our team support you at every step of the process? Let’s find out!

OECD Pillar Two Rules and Tax Changes

OECD Pillar Two Rules introduce a global minimum tax to ensure large multinational companies pay fair tax rates.

In 2024, the OECD’s Pillar Two Rules introduced a global 15% minimum tax for large companies.

The UK added two new taxes:

Multinational Top-up Tax (MTT) and
Domestic Top-up Tax (DTT)

These taxes affect companies with over €750 million in revenue. In 2025 as well, businesses will need to adjust tax strategies to meet the new rules. This may affect profits, dividends, and capital gains.

International investors may see changes in returns. Tax professionals will be in high demand for advice.

To comply, businesses should register with HMRC and stay updated. Tailored tax strategies are essential for staying ahead of the changes.

At Apex Accountants, we focus on protecting your investments. We create wealth preservation strategies that make your money work harder. Our experts help you manage taxes and reduce risks.

Diversifying your portfolio is key. We spread your investments to reduce risk. Tax-advantaged accounts like ISAs and pensions offer big benefits. They help you save on taxes.

Insurance is another important part. It protects you from unexpected events. Our team also makes sure you’re following the right tax rules.

As your life changes, so do your needs. We adjust your plans for every stage. We help you save more and keep your wealth safe.

Rental property purchases and sales require careful tax planning to maximise returns and avoid costly liabilities.

Owning rental properties means dealing with various taxes. These include:

income tax
capital gains tax (CGT)
stamp duty land tax (SDLT), and
council tax

Rental income is taxed, but you can deduct costs like repairs and insurance. Changes in tax relief for finance costs affect landlords, so careful planning is key.

When selling, CGT applies. The tax-free allowance has dropped from £6,000 to £3,000 in 2024.

For property purchases, SDLT rules are changing, with new levies on expensive properties.

Consider setting up a limited company for better tax savings. You can also transfer property to a spouse to reduce tax.

Retirement planning is key to a comfortable future. It’s not just about saving taxes now, but setting up for later. Working with experts helps you create a clear, stress-free strategy.

Recent changes in pension tax relief can impact your savings. These adjustments affect how much you can contribute tax-efficiently. Keeping up with updates ensures you make the most of your pension.

For example, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson worked with Apex Accountants. They navigated these changes to boost their retirement fund and save on taxes.

Proactive planning helps you stay on top of tax regulations. Apex Accountants can guide you through this process for a worry-free retirement.

Proactive tax planning makes you 60% more likely to feel confident about finances.

Inheritance tax planning helps protect your wealth. It ensures your estate is safe for future generations. Recent changes to inheritance tax laws impact how tax is calculated. Staying informed is key.

For example, rules on trusts and lifetime gifts can lower your tax bill. In 2020-2021, HMRC collected £5.4 billion in inheritance tax. Proper planning helps you manage this.
