Almost every tax bill we review contains the same surprise: reliefs the payer never knew existed. Allowances only work if you claim them — and unclaimed ones simply vanish at year end.
The usual suspects
Marriage allowance transfers, work-from-home relief, professional subscriptions, pension carry-forward and capital gains annual exemptions top our most-missed list. Each is straightforward to claim once spotted; none are applied automatically.
Timing unlocks more
Moving income or gains across the tax-year boundary, or pairing spouses' allowances, can double the benefit of the same relief. A short planning window before April is often worth more than a year of careful budgeting.
Review before you file
A one-hour allowance check before submission catches what software questionnaires miss. Clients routinely recover several times the session cost in their very first review.
