Tax Compliance
Staying
up to date with the numerous changes in legislation and regulations is vital for any individual with substantial assets. Tax
compliance, including completion of self-assessment tax returns, ranges from the straightforward input of information into
tax return software to detailed analysis of the disclosure required following a sophisticated tax planning exercise.
Our
approach is to consider each individual client's personal and financial circumstances and the effects of the three major taxes:
income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax. Wider concerns can also be included, for example the tax planning requirements
of the client's family, business interests and company shareholdings,

Capital Gains Tax
Capital
Gains Tax applies when any chargeable asset is disposed of. It is imposed upon individuals, companies, personal representatives
and trustees. It is vital that the tax implications of a capital disposal are considered
in full before the disposal occurs.

Inheritance Tax
With the continued increase in property values, this tax is unfortunately starting to apply to more
and more of the population. For the current (2007/2008) tax year, the threshold for Inheritance Tax is only £300,000, rising
to £312,000 for the tax year commencing 6 April 2008.
