Business tax planning
Tax planning and advice for business owners
As a business owner, we can combine the information we know about your personal situation and your business to develop efficient tax planning strategies and remuneration that fit with your business and family life.
Over recent years the gap between salary and dividends has narrowed. Given this growing need for an annual review, we take into account both the tax position across your business and for you personally. In doing so, we are able to highlight more ways to structure remuneration and achieve more favourable and attractive tax benefit options for you, your family and business. This can be easily updated depending on what happens in the economic market and what personal situations arise.
We provide support throughout the various lifecycles of your business, from starting up your business ensuring you meet all compliance requirements to helping you grow which can take the form of restructuring to improve efficiencies or advising on acquisitions.
Should the time come when you are considering an exit, we can advise on the most suitable strategies to ensure a smooth and efficient exit.
We can help to identify areas for your consideration when it comes to protecting and managing the wealth that you have invested in your business and/or private portfolio.
