Income and Capital Tax Planning

Are you paying too much tax now or could you be faced with a large tax bill in the future? There are often a variety of ways in which a transaction can be undertaken and each may have a different tax consequence. Our income and capital tax planning service gives you the chance to discuss with us your aims and ambitions, so that we can identify the most tax efficient route to achieve your target. To do this we will obtain a sound understanding of your affairs and help you consider the options that are available to you, estimating the likely tax outcome of each one. We will take into account what is commercially sensible and we do not believe that it is worthwhile saving tax for its own sake. There is no point spending £1,000 just to save £400. WKH has a wealth of expertise amongst its staff and partners and most situations can be dealt with in-house. We have, however, also developed a network of nationally and internationally recognised experts with whom we can consult on your behalf. Our tax planning services cover

• income tax
• national insurance
• corporation tax
• capital gains tax
• inheritance tax
• stamp duty
• value added tax

Often, a tax solution is not a stand-alone option and we will seek to find answers to your problems that encompass other services and solutions that are offered by WKH. For instance, passing on shares in the family company may require input from the firm’s experts in succession planning, tax planning and personal finance.
