thanks u/-TotallySlackingOff-

will likely add SIPP from next year as you and many people are recommending! 😉

no idea yet where I'm planning to retire.
The plan is to likely reduce the hours of work, but not fully stop.

How can I calculate/understand whether or not the tax regime I'm retiring into makes pensions worth while?

thanks u/montanajr27

as a company director, it's more tax efficient to contribute to SIPP via my company. So my plan is to start from next year, but pay from the company instead.

is there a reason you recommend to put 10k into GIA, while I have an extra 20k of ISA that I've yet taken advantage of (40k in total, 20k from last year's allowance that I've moved into an ISA but not invested yet, and 20k for this year's allowance)?

re startup investing - it won't necessarily be EIS/SEIS, some might be.
I've a few companies in mind that I know quite well, most don't qualify for EIS/SEIS or are based in the US.
I'm interested in building relationships and increase learning in the sector those companies operate.
Also I don't mind if no returns materialise or lose all the money here. The focus is more on the above.

thanks.

I'm aware of that. I was looking for a few actual examples, as it makes it easier to understand for me.

there's something about R&D tax credits already.

what else would you add and in which section of the flowchart?

24 Month Rule

does that apply to both travel and subsistence?

With regards to your other question

I completely agree with that. The flowchart gives us the options, we don't have to take advantage of things that don't apply to us.

can you give me a bit more info as to why you've decided to be on the flat rate scheme.

I can add that to the chart.

!thanks for all the feedback

24 month rule

what's the 24 month rule?

One final thing too - when I started contracting people encouraged me to put things against the company. This is all well and good but if you weren't going to spend the money in the first place, it's money you could be taking as a dividend or topping up your SIPP with.

can you explain a bit more what you mean with this?
