Company reorganisation streamlines client’s business tax

The Problem

Edward owned a building that was used as a restaurant in one company, and he also owned a separate company, which ran the restaurant business. This meant the valuable building was in his estate for inheritance tax purposes and would be subject to a higher rate of tax if the company were sold.

The Solution

We reorganised the companies into a group, while applying for the relevant HMRC clearances to ensure no tax was triggered along the way. We also considered whether a wider planning strategy would further improve the family’s tax position.

We worked closely with the lawyers involved to ensure the reorganisation was dealt with in a timely and tax-efficient manner.

And thanks to our advice, Edward’s tax affairs have been streamlined. Plus, he has potentially saved hundreds of thousands of pounds in both inheritance tax and/or capital gains tax in the future.
