Tax Consultancy
Our tax planning teams will work with you to ensure your tax affairs are arranged in the most tax-efficient manner possible, providing innovative and flexible solutions to taxation problems.
Our dedicated team of tax specialists has a range of backgrounds including former HM Revenue & Customs officials as well as qualified Chartered Accountants and Chartered Tax Advisers. Therefore, we have vast experience of providing tailored solutions to meet our clients’ needs whilst maintaining a commercial focus. However complex the problem, we will be with you to ensure it is as painless as possible.
The team is normally tasked with finding the solution to a problem. Their main aims are to minimise corporate tax liabilities and maximise reliefs such as capital allowances and R&D tax credits. Extraction of funds from a business for the owners is also a key area - as people want to be able to get the worth of their business and not have all of their capital tied up in business without having to pay too much tax when they take the benefits. Succession and long term planning issues also come into play. Tax issues interact with many of the other services we provide, such as corporate finance and wealth management. We offer transaction advice about buying and selling businesses, reconstructions and mergers. Corporate finance and tax go hand-in-hand.
