Tired of the 31 January scramble and the sting that follows? We take the stress apart and rebuild it into a calm, structured plan for dentists who want to pay less tax and gain more freedom. With expert planner Anick Sharma, we dive into the practical moves that matter: company-paid pension contributions that cut corporation tax, how to avoid the 60% effective rate trap as a sole trader, and the right way to coordinate your accountant and planner so nothing slips through the cracks.

We get honest about the NHS pension and why the annual allowance can ambush even savvy clinicians. You’ll hear how carry forward works in practice, when to proceed with caution, and why timing and accurate inputs make the difference between relief and an unexpected charge. Then we widen the lens beyond pensions: claiming allowable expenses and capital allowances, placing insurance in the most tax-efficient way, and choosing a salary-dividend split that actually matches your goals rather than last year’s guess.

Money sitting idle is another hidden cost. We break down a simple, proven approach to cash versus investing: match money to purpose across short, medium, and long horizons so liquidity is there when needed and growth is there when wanted. Real-world stories show how defining your destination first can unlock capital that’s been parked for “safety,” turning it into a portfolio that powers your plan. The takeaway is clear and actionable: know your point B, then pull the right levers—pensions, allowances, and disciplined extraction—to reach it faster with fewer January shocks.
