Tax planning

Thinking ahead to help you structure your transactions effectively

You know there are certain times of the year when you need to think about tax. But if you really want to keep your tax bill to a minimum, consistent and ongoing tax planning can make a big difference.

With our help, you can make informed choices about factors that could affect your tax bill. We can advise you on strategies that will make the most of the tax reliefs, allowances, and credits available to you.

If you’re buying commercial property

As property is a capital asset, you’ll need to be aware of two main tax implications: Capital Gains and Income Tax on profits.

We’ve developed the Commercial Property Purchase Plan, to help you buy and own a commercial property cost-effectively.

To find out what’s likely to be the best option for your situation, try our Commercial Property Purchase Plan Calculator. And then, to be sure of the most appropriate course of action, our specialist tax consultancy team can guide you through a four-step process:

Step 1: Understanding the information

Getting all the details on financing, the vendor and all other decision factors.

Step 2: Processing the information

Modelling your future financial situation and analysing the transaction, income, capital and inheritance tax implications.

Step 3: Recommending a structure

Comprehensive analysis of our recommendations and the steps we need to take for the proposed transaction – including information to brief all other parties involved.

Step 4: Managing the process

Communicating with all relevant advisors and ensuring you take the right actions at the right times.

Your decision could have long-term implications, and we’re here to help you make the right one. We can support you through the whole evaluation process, including:
