Trusts and Family Investment Companies
Both trusts and Family Investment Companies (FICs) can be used as key planning tools, not only for tax planning, but also for protection and succession. Your aims and objectives lead the way.
Our experts look at your personal circumstances, along with your future plans, and will determine which planning might fit best for you and your family. Trusts and FICs are not mutually exclusive, but offer different solutions depending on the tax scenario you are faced with.
Making these structures work for you is key for us- we want to ensure you can reap all of the tax benefits which can include income tax efficiencies and gross roll-up, as well as inheritance tax benefits.
We support clients on:
- Strategic tax-planning for you, your family and business
- Exit planning and shareholder planning areas
- Trust advice and structuring
- Use of Family Investment Companies
- Income tax planning
- Maximising Business Property Relief
- Personal tax compliance
- Trust compliance and advisory
- Inheritance tax reporting and compliance
