7 Ways to Beat the Taxman

1 Rent out a Room. You have a tax free allowance of £4 250 per year.

2 ISAs. Invest up to £7 000 per year and your gains are tax free.

3 Use your husband/wife or
civil partner. Divide your assets (shares/property) into both names. Each person has a tax free allowance of £8 500 for Capita gains Tax

4 Invest in Forestry or Classic Cars! There is no Capital Gains Tax

5 Make a will. Die without a will (intestate) & 40% can go to the taxman.

6 Use Tax Credits. Billions of tax credits are unclaimed each year.
