Capital
Gains Tax Advice is a modern day necessity as it’s a tax charge payable on
an increase in value on the possessions we own.
These possessions could range from shares to antiques, second homes etc.
The tax is payable when you sale or give them away.
Year on year the capital gains tax
allowances and rates vary therefore it is important to seek Capital Gains Tax
Advice from a professional Tax Accountant.
The difference in tax rates between UK
income tax at 50% and Capital Gains Tax at 18% is unsustainable. Sooner or later
the government will seek to close the gap but if only it were entirely that
simple. UK Chancellors past and present have for many years been trying to
simplify the Capital Gains Tax system only to end up making it more complex.
In capital gains tax planning it is vital
to take all taxes into account, not just the one you are trying to avoid! There
is no point doing one thing to save inheritance tax if at the same time by
taking this action you inadvertently give yourself a capital
gains tax liability. Capital gains tax rate is much lower than income tax
rate but with careful capital gains tax advice and planning, one can further
reduce the CGT bill. There are several ways by which Capital Gains Tax may be
reduced, legally of course. This requires good advanced Capital Gains Tax
advice and planning, rather than reacting to a tax event.
Whether you have inherited assets, bought a
second home or you have developed an extensive investment portfolio, you will
need to consider the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) consequences of a disposal.
Professional advice should always be sought before transferring or selling an
asset as CGT liabilities can be deferred, mitigated or even prevented with the
right planning. The experienced and professional Capital Gains Tax advisors can guide you through your sometimes
complex obligations, provide a personal planning strategy, and ensure that
complete compliance with all your legal obligations is ensured.
