Our Taxation team advises corporate clients on transactional and corporate taxes, including Corporation Tax, Value Added Tax (VAT) and Stamp Duty, in relation to mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, as well as ongoing matters such as share exchanges, group re-organisations, employment-related taxation such as National Insurance Contributions (NICS), Income Tax and Pay As You Earn (PAYE) requirements and share and other incentive schemes.
We also advise the individuals behind the structures, on issues such as Capital Gains Tasx (CGT), Inheritance Tax (IHT), tax-efficient exit planning, private and charitable tax planning, the use of trusts (onshore and offshore), offshore companies and the benefits and burdens of non-domiciled status. We have been involved in a number of large corporate and, more unusually, charitable projects, advising in particular on lease financing structures and capital allowances planning.
