Steve Sayer from Utmost Wealth Solutions joined us for the second of two online Assemblies tackling the issue of top slicing relief.
In the first Assembly – held on 29 June this year – Steve invited us to look at more technical considerations and calculations.
In this second session, he took a look at planning strategies for top slicing relief. The session covered:
- How to avoid trustee rates of tax on gains
- When should new money top up an existing bond or go into a new bond?
- How to apply time apportionment relief
- How to plan for ongoing income
From now on, there’s no need to visit Crowdcast to save your spot at an online Assembly. Just tap ‘Book event’ and follow the step-by-step instructions.

Do you know the order in which income tax is applied to different sources?
If not, this online Assembly is for you. And – even if you do – are you really really sure? (Like, really?)
Either way, we’re sure you’ll leave this Assembly older (by 60 mins) but wiser thanks to our guest, M&G’s Les Cameron.
Les will be a familiar face to many Assembly participants and his most recent appearance was May’s Case Study Investigation: IHT and Trusts.
