Minimising Capital Gains Tax

We are familiar with the many complex reliefs and exemptions applying to this tax and are able to advise you how to avoid or defer payment through legitimate means. CGT is perhaps the easiest of taxes to avoid provided advice is taken in advance.

For example the Enterprise Investment Scheme enables potentially tax-free gains, roll over of past gains and even 20% income tax relief in some cases. However there are numerous pitfalls and problems to circumvent before this valuable relief is obtained.

We now have a headline 10% capital gains rate due to the new Entrepreneur Relief applying from 6 April 2008 – we can help you achieve this.

We are extremely familiar with the anti-avoidance legislation that the Revenue can deploy and the more obvious pitfalls to avoid along the way. This is the case whether you are selling your business, company or important property or merely looking to use your annual exemption or other reliefs to mitigate taxation.
