Personal & Business Tax Planning & Trusts

Experience

The threat of taxation on death is a worry for many.  Our team has over 60 years experience of advising on the issues involved in protecting private and business wealth.

There are many packaged products available which are marketed as Inheritance Tax saving schemes; in our view there is no such thing as an off the peg scheme and all our advice is tailor made to suit the individual client.  For example, clients' concerns for the security of the next generation can be dealt with through the use of trusts of which there are many to choose from.  Family trusts are just one option we will consider with you to provide for your grandchildrens' education.

We will also consider the financial security of the donor and whilst we are creative and utilise some lateral thinking we would not recommend to our clients any scheme with which neither they nor we would be uncomfortable.

Although Wills and Trusts are the main tax planning tools, clients are often quite interested in giving away business assets in their lifetime during a favourable tax regime.  We can provide practical advice on the best ways to achieve your goals now and in the future.
