A question about : Reducing tax bill by investing

Hi all,

I have been searching for answers to this but have not found anything so maybe someone here knows.

Lets say I have earned enough for a large tax bill this year. For the sake of argument, lets say that my tax bill is Ј20k.

Is it possible to purchase a buy-to-let property with the Ј20k I have put aside for tax as the deposit? In my mind it is a business expense as I will be letting the property out.

If not, are there any other large purchases that can be made to reduce a tax bill?

Thanks!

A question about : Tax Status Of ATC Loss of Licence Payment

I would appreciate some advice. I am an air traffic controller and suffered a mini stroke with an emergency hospital admittance. As a result, I have lost my medical licence to practice. My company operates a contractual loss of air traffic controller’s licence benefit scheme. This states that two years salary will be paid on termination of employment due to medical loss of the licence. The scheme is run by an insurer to which the company pays a premium. I am about to be terminated by my employer.
