Time marches on.
Here are some jobs to do before April and the start of the new tax year.
Electric Vehicle Road Tax
If you have an EV, the vehicle tax (excise duty) is going up and is no longer free. If the EV is less than 8 years old then this is a significant increase (£195).
Renew early, before the end of the month, and you won’t have to pay until March next year. Simply go through the form and confirm you really do want to renew. You’ll need your V5C but won’t need any payment details.
Gift Aid
Why not give the money saved to charity. Now is a great time to give. Getting a refund is a great incentive to do your Self Assessment after the end of the tax year. This is in addition to the Gift Aid that the charity gets.
Our World in Data have some good info on impactful aid and are a worthy cause themselves (the thanks video is pretty sweet too). GiveWell have a UK arm that is eligible for Gift Aid. It may be better to do a direct bank transfer if the card payment (via CAF) doesn’t work.
