Our Tax Planning Services...
Inheritance Tax Planning (IHT)
Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a tax on the estate of a person after their death, and it is a key area for financial planning.
Inheritance tax is often referred to as an “optional tax” as it can be mitigated in full or in part with prior tax planning.
After a lifetime of working and paying tax, it is extremely frustrating for assets to be taxed again on death, reducing the transfer of wealth to the next generation.
Inheritance tax planning can help ensure that your estate is passed on to your loved ones as tax efficiently as possible. Our experience tells us that the earlier the conversation is had, the more successful the transfer of wealth can be.
Income Tax
Income Tax is payable on income from employment (including self-employment), pensions, property, savings and dividends. The amount of income tax a person will pay depends on the amount of income they earn.
It is possible to reduce your income tax liability by making use of various tax allowances through tax planning.
Capital Gains Tax
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a tax on profits made on the sale of an asset. Different tax rates apply for investments and residential property. It is a key consideration for personal financial planning.
Attained through tax planning, there are certain allowances and exemptions that may reduce your capital gain tax (CGT) liability.
Investing Tax Efficiently
With our tax planning, we can also help you to invest as tax efficiently as possible by considering your personal tax allowances and making use of them where suitable and affordable.
