Print this pageTax Planning

Tax features in much of the work undertaken in this department. We are able to advise on the full spectrum of tax affairs - from the Capital Taxes (inheritance tax, capital gains tax, stamp duty land tax) to helping individuals and trusts with their income tax returns and queries.

At Cozens-Hardy LLP, we also have the necessary expertise and deep-seated experience to advise on issues sometimes referred to as 'succession planning'.

For instance, your will sets out what you want to happen to your assets after your death, but it may be that you wish to pass on assets during your lifetime and/or plan for the next generation to come into and manage the family business. In these situations, tax is clearly a consideration but it's not the only one and, quite often, it's not the main one.

Or, it might be that that you don't wish to give up complete control of an asset or business and it may be appropriate to think about a trust, partnership or changes to shareholdings.

We are very comfortable working with your other advisers – eg accountants – to find the right solution for you.
