📈Tax-efficient Investing 📈

Investing in the stock market?

Live in either the UK or the US?

Utilise the various, tax-efficient wrappers available to you to save yourself £1000’s in tax!

Let me run through your options & what each means for money💰

Let’s go...
UK Options 🇬🇧

GIA (General Investment Account) –

🔸Invest unlimited amounts of cash. 🔸Capital gains (appreciation & dividends) up to £12,300 per year are tax-free

However, this is likely to change as of April 2021

Lowering the threshold & increasing the tax rate 😭
Stocks & Shares ISA

🔸Pay in up to £20,000/year,
so long as you have no other ISA savings (lifetime ISA for example)
🔸All your capital gains on this amount are tax-free

The £20k limit is subject to change, but changes are more likely to consist of increases to the limit 👍
US Options 🇺🇸

Roth IRA:
🔹A special retirement account
🔹You pay tax only on the money going into your account
🔹All future withdrawals are
tax-free
🔹Contribute up to $6K/year, or $7K if you’re over 50
🔹Total limit: $139,000 as an individual or $206,000 as a married
couple
Standard brokerage account:
🔹Exactly as it sounds really
🔹A taxable account
🔹Any capital gains are subject to tax in the year the money is received (once you sell a position or receive a dividend)
🔹Any losses can be written off against your taxes too 👀
This is a brief of the most common investment accounts.

The US has several other options & it can seem quite complicated.

But fear not! Just keep it simple!
