Types of Tax:
The impact of Income Tax on wealth management goes beyond the money that enters your account each month. By understanding the sources, expenditure and ever-changing personal allowances, we can strategically plan your investments, pension provision and ultimately your income requirements.
On a basic level, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a tax you would pay on the growth of certain assets when you sell or dispose of them. Each year, as an individual you have a tax-free allowance similar to the Income tax personal allowance, which applies to Capital disposals.
Courtiers works with clients to help avoid an unexpected large CGT bill. We aim to understand your overall picture of wealth and plan to mitigate this where possible.
You’re taxed when you earn, taxed when you spend and taxed when you die. Taking a proactive approach to inheritance tax and estate planning could increase what you pass to the next generation. Utilising your annual gift allowance and navigating the various regulations around lifetime transfers are just some ways you can avoid unwanted surprises in often difficult times.
Corporation Tax is essentially Income Tax for companies, without the benefit of a personal allowance. As soon as your business starts making a profit, it needs to start paying corporation tax. As part of a broader picture, Courtiers works with businesses and individuals to identify suitable long-term strategies to mitigate the “multiplier effect” of various taxes coming together each financial year.
