Coming to the UK?
The two most important tax questions to answer are: where are you resident and where are you domiciled?
If you are here for employment purposes a number of areas need to be considered because different rules apply to each type of tax. Advice is needed as early as possible because there are opportunities to take advantage of and pitfalls to be avoided.
Leaving the UK?
Whether you are leaving to work abroad or for other reasons, your tax position should be reviewed before you go to make sure that your exposure to any continuing liability is minimised.
We can advise you on all tax and national insurance issues relating to your move and also put you in contact with our overseas associates for local advice.
Tax and the family
Tax affects us at all stages in our lives.
Whether we look at children receiving trust income and amounts from other family members, or ourselves through employment and into retirement, tax will always have an effect and the way this impacts on our families should be reviewed so that our planning can be updated as circumstances change.
Marriage and divorce are major life events and tax advice is essential at these times.
Corporate Tax
Companies always need to know that they are not paying more tax than they have to.
The rules for calculating corporation tax are complicated and often change so that keeping up to date in an efficient and cost-effective way is important.
Whether your interest is in a single company or a group you need to be sure that your planning is still the best in your current circumstances. If anything is likely to change early planning will be needed. This will make sure that it produces the right result for both corporate tax and personal tax purposes.
The incidence of corporation tax enquiries by Revenue & Customs is increasing and they can cover every aspect of the company’s taxation affairs. They need to be handled quickly and efficiently. At Freeman & Partners we are experienced in dealing with these enquiries and bringing them to a conclusion in a cost-efficient manner.
Business Services
Small and growing enterprises need sound financial information on which to base decisions for the future.
Detailed management accounts are essential but not all businesses have access to the people who can provide them clearly and accurately.
