Capital Gains Tax Advice
Contact our tax advisers
Capital Gains Tax is continually changing, and advance planning may be necessary in order to maximise available reliefs and minimise tax liabilities. Our expert tax advisers can review your asset portfolio alongside your short-term and long-term intentions with you. Based upon your circumstances they will then provide appropriate advice to reduce, remove or defer tax liabilities where possible.
Where you are married or in a registered civil partnership consideration of the overall position of both you and your spouse/civil partner together can provide opportunities for further tax savings.
Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR)
For owner-managers, BADR is an important tax relief, and Hawsons can help ensure that you maximise relief by using tax efficient business structures and, if necessary, reorganising the existing business.
Hold-Over Relief and Rollover Relief
We will also help to optimise your entitlements to Private Residence relief, Gift relief and annual exemptions, as well as making full use of capital losses where available.
We can give advice on the deferral of Capital Gains Tax liabilities, utilising Rollover Relief, Holdover Relief or Deferral reliefs where applicable.
EIS, SEIS & VCTs
A number of government approved schemes are available to encourage private individuals to invest in a range of companies varying on size and nature of trades, and with effect from 2014/15, in social enterprises. In order to encourage investment, there are a number of tax relief opportunities available. These differ depending on which scheme you have invested in.
The schemes are as follows:
Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS)
Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS)
Venture Capital Trust Scheme (VCT)
It is important to note that as each of these schemes have complex and detailed regulations concerning qualifying investors, the investment vehicle and type of investment. All of which will have different impacts to your tax position. Further advice should be taken from us to ensure the correct tax treatment is applied.
