PERSONAL TAX PLANNING

On 22 March 2006, proposals to change the inherittance tax treatment of UK trusts were announced. When the legislation has received Royal Assent, usually towards the end of July, we will post revised briefings, but in the meantime, please contact Bart Peerless, Stephen Pallister or Catriona Syed if you need any information.

 

 

Our Expertise
At Charles Russell we have a number of lawyers in our Private Capital Department who are specialists in the taxes to which individuals are subject. We are therefore well placed to offer advice on the implications for both UK residents and non-residents on personal taxes.

Who do we advise on personal taxes?
• UK and non UK individuals wishing to protect their assets and minimise tax
• Property owners, company directors, business persons and investors
• UK and non UK based Trustees
• Non UK lawyers, accountants and other professionals seeking expert tax advice

The taxes we advise on
• Income Tax
• Capital Gains Tax
• Inheritance Tax

How can Charles Russell help?
We are often able to save our clients substantial sums as a result of the advice we give. We can either act on an ongoing basis, looking at your financial affairs as a whole, or act on a single transaction. Essentially tax planning is personal. We take this into account and tailor our advice to suit you.

Some of the savings we might suggest:
• Inheritance Tax - tax planning with the family home, passing on business assets and planning for people who are not domiciled in the UK are some of the areas we advise on frequent >>more>>
• Capital Gains Tax - we can advise on effective planning for start up companies, removing assets from offshore trusts and effective planning for those who are immigrating to the UK

How much will this cost?
This will depend mainly on how long it takes for us to advise and to implement our advice, as well as on the complexity of the transaction or advice given. In most cases the amount of our fees is recovered many times over in the amount of tax saved or avoided.
