Financial planning considerations at tax year end
Live webinar: Thursday 22 January at 10:30am (45 minutes)
The end of the tax year is always a busy time for advice practitioners, and with the Government’s Autumn Budget now confirmed, 2026 will bring significant changes and new considerations for financial planning.
Ensuring good outcomes for clients
To help you prepare for the upcoming period and ensure good client outcomes, Fidelity’s Paul Richards, Paul Squirrell and Jon Hale will be hosting this special webinar. They will reflect on the latest Budget - what has changed or is about to change and, importantly, what has stayed the same, in areas which may include pensions, ISAs and capital gains tax. They’ll also discuss inheritance tax and pensions and what these potentially mean for estate planning. Finally, they’ll touch upon the most-common tasks required for tax year end and run through how to quickly identify and practically manage any required actions for your clients.
The webinar will last for 45 minutes and a certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees after the presentation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to submit them when you register and we will look to answer them during the discussion.
