Year-End Tax Planning Letter and Checklist

About this document

What it’s for

A proactive letter inviting clients to review their tax position before the tax year end (5 April) or their company’s year end, with planning checklists for individuals and for companies, a rates table to update each year, and a response form to book a review.

When to use it

  • January to March for individuals, ahead of 5 April
  • Two to three months before a company’s year end
  • After a Budget, when announced changes create a reason to act before a date

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Points that may apply to you
  • Key figures for [2026/27]
  • Next steps
  • Where the company stands
  • Points to consider
  • Key figures
  • Income and allowances
  • Pensions and savings
  • Capital gains and disposals
  • Gifts, estate and family
  • Compliance
  • Profits and corporation tax
  • Capital expenditure
  • Remuneration and extraction
  • Reliefs and compliance
  • Main rates and allowances

How to complete it

  • Update every figure in the rates table from gov.uk before sending
  • Choose Letter A (individuals) or Letter B (companies and their owners), or send both
  • Delete checklist items that do not apply and add any client-specific points

Key points to check

  • Announced changes are not law until enacted – say so
  • Planning must be within the spirit of the law (PCRT); avoid anything that relies on contrived steps

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
