Read moreThough Wealth Management Fees are not tax-deductible, there are many tax efficiencies of employing a wealth manager to look after your pensions and investments.
Wealth management adviser fees are usually deducted at source from the investors pension or savings portfolio. Which means in effect they fall beyond the scope of tax.
Clients could choose to pay initial set-up fees and the ongoing fees directly to the adviser and not have them deducted from their plans. However, this does not make any sense as they would be paying fees out of their income which they have already paid tax on.
Just looking at whether fees are tax deductible though is somewhat missing the bigger picture. Aside from the fact a wealth manager can use their knowledge to give you advice on building and managing your pension and savings, there are some important tax breaks everyone should make the most of.
Read on to make sure you’re not missing any:
Look for smart tax-efficient investments
Pension and ISA portfolios grow free of tax. They are smart investments.
Pension contributions have incentives on the way in – An additional 20% added by the Government to personal pension contributions up to your annual allowance (this figure depends on your earnings and tax position).
Where else can you get a guaranteed bonus to your savings like this? My advice is to make hay while the sun shines as this remains a potential target for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to axe in order to recoup much needed money back into the public purse.
ISAs, while they don’t have an incentive on the way in provide everybody the opportunity to save up to £20,000 per annum (at 2021/22 allowances) in a stocks and shares or cash ISA. Your ISA account can become a hugely valuable savings pot, with some people becoming ‘ISA millionaires’ who have fully funded their savings into them since they were first available.
The real benefit of ISAs is on the way out – there is no tax to pay whatsoever, regardless of your earnings or tax position. However much you accumulate you can take out at any time, even in one huge lump sum without any tax due.

“I had a number of separate pension pots which I’d built up over my career and I visited Oaklands Wealth for advice on consolidating them. The result has been an investment into a single personal pension which is producing far better returns than I had previously had with the separate pensions. All services and advice from Oaklands have been excellent.”
“After great dissatisfaction with the service of major high street banking group I approached Oaklands to manage my pension and investment portfolio. They have provided sound advice on pre- retirement planning and achieved a good return on our capital as well now in retirement. The service offered by Helen and the team at Oaklands is second to none.”
