Claiming Tax Relief
There are clever ways to reduce your tax bill. Learn about reliefs designed for performers and creatives.
Available Reliefs
Spouse Allowance Transfer
If your spouse has unused personal allowance, you can transfer £1,260 of it to reduce your tax. Saves up to £252/year.
Marriage Allowance
Married? Each partner gets £12,570 personal allowance. If one earns nothing, transfer the unused amount (but can't transfer more than £1,260).
Trading Allowance
Self-employed? Claim a flat £1,000 reduction in income if you earn under £1,000. No need to prove expenses — it's automatic.
Loss Relief
Had a loss this year (expenses exceed income)? Carry it forward to offset future profits or back to prior years.
Claim in Your Tax Return
These reliefs are NOT automatic. You must claim them in your Self Assessment tax return. Check each one carefully!
Every Bit Counts
Combined, these reliefs could save you hundreds. At 20% tax rate, even small reductions add up. 💙
