CORPORATE TAX

There’s no getting away from the fact that tax is a crucial part of any corporate or commercial property transaction. The key to effective corporate tax planning is to correctly identify the main aspects of your organisation’s structure that provide tax saving opportunities.

Geldards specialist tax team works alongside our transactional lawyers to devise appropriate tax strategies for your business or the particular transaction in question. We’ll tell you everything you need to know, from detailed tax planning, to the drafting and negotiation of tax covenants and the application of investment relief, share schemes, VAT and stamp duty.

Our aim is to devise tailored tax advice, delivered in a straightforward way without relying on layers of legal and technical jargon. Our awareness of corporate best practice is further strengthened by our active membership of professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Taxation and Welsh Government Tax Advisory Group.

We provide the full range of tax strategy, covering both direct and indirect taxes, with particular emphasis on:

• Establishment and restructuring of corporate groups within the UK
• Local taxes - business tax for companies, transfer, property and land taxes
• Mergers, acquisitions, joint-ventures, privatisations and flotations
• Non-salary benefits - stock options, share incentive schemes
• Real estate investment structuring
• Private client tax and estate planning
