Tax And Estate Planning
When planning for the future, tax considerations inevitably play an important role. At Tollers, our experts all have experience dealing with personal taxation queries, specifically relating to Inheritance Tax (IHT) and Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Our approach to effective tax planning takes into account five key principles:
- Focus on your objectives – do not let reducing IHT overrule common sense.
- Keep your planning as simple and as flexible as possible – tax law and personal circumstances can change, and overly complex schemes can be difficult and expensive to manage.
- Look for opportunities to reduce the value of your estate for IHT purposes, but do not give away more than you can afford to.
- Take advice sooner rather than later – early planning offers the greatest opportunities.
- Take all taxes and circumstances into account. Remember that disposing of some assets during your lifetime may give rise to unexpected IHT/CGT charges, and put your personal financial situation at risk.
Tollers can provide a professional advisor who fully understands your objectives and personal circumstances can help you develop an IHT plan tailored to your particular needs.
