Tax and advisory

Structuring personal or business affairs in a tax efficient manner can be both challenging and complex. Our team is renowned for its expert knowledge and the practical and commercial advice we provide to our UK and international clients.

Expertise

In-depth knowledge

We provide comprehensive advice on all UK taxes, including inheritance tax, capital gains tax, income tax, VAT, corporation tax and stamp duty.

Transactions

We advise on all aspects of sales, purchases and business and property restructurings.

Options for wealth holding structures

We provide clear explanations of the structuring options available to individuals, trustees, funds, companies, landed estates and family businesses, in the UK and internationally.

Track Record

  • Advising on the total restructuring across various jurisdictions of the wealth of an overseas family with worldwide assets.
  • Advising a rural estate on the implementation of a CGT arrangement over land earmarked for development, banking both the gain to date and future gain at the previous 18% rate.
  • Extensive advice on tax reliefs available on death, inter-family arrangements or sales of property, and on succession planning from one generation to another. This includes tax planning with the family home including reversionary lease schemes, co-ownership and full consideration arrangements; implementing a partnership and succession planning arrangement to secure business property relief from Inheritance Tax, as well as to ensure the income requirements for family members are maintained; pre-death emergency tax planning and then advising following the death of the landowner on availability of tax reliefs, including with mineral royalties.
  • Advising a set of offshore trustees on a buyback of shares in a UK company and achieving a significant saving of tax through a restructuring of their holding.
