A new tax year means a fresh set of allowances, and the earlier you put them to work, the harder they work for you. In this episode of clarityON, Angus Jones (CEO & Chartered Adviser) and Jess Lelew (Paraplanner) walk through the key planning opportunities for 2026/27, from ISAs and Pensions to Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, and beyond.

What we cover:

  • Why acting at the start of the tax year pays off, and how compounding makes timing matter more than most people realise
  • ISAs: making the most of your refreshed £20,000 allowance, Junior ISAs, and the Bed & ISA strategy
  • Pensions: the extraordinary tax relief available, carry forward, and salary sacrifice
  • The hidden tax traps around £60,000, £100,000 and £125,140, and how pension contributions can neutralise them
  • Capital Gains Tax: using your annual exemption systematically from day one
  • Inheritance Tax: the gifting allowances that reset every April, and the 'normal expenditure out of income' relief most people have never heard of
  • VCTs and EIS: tax-efficient options for those who have already maxed the basics
  • A practical April action plan to get organised now, not in March

Whether you're reviewing your financial plan for the year or hearing some of these strategies for the first time, this episode is your starting point for a more tax-efficient 2026/27.
