TAX EFFICIENT PRODUCTS

Here’s how we make tax efficiency simple

Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)

ISAs allow you to save and invest up to the annual limit, completely tax-free. There’s no income tax, capital gains tax, or tax on dividends - which means your money can grow faster. ISAs are a key part of our tax planning strategy to help you make the most of your allowances.

Pensions

Pensions remain one of the most tax efficient investments for retirement, offering generous income tax relief on contributions. We ensure your pension is optimised for the best tax treatment, helping you meet your future goals while reducing the amount of personal tax you pay throughout the tax year.

Venture Capital Trusts and Enterprise Investment Schemes

VCTs and EIS provide strong tax incentives, including income tax relief and capital gains tax exemption. These high-risk, high-reward options can be excellent additions to your portfolio with the support of experienced financial advisers and a qualified fund manager.

Inheritance Tax Planning

Our IHT planning services use careful planning and tools like trusts and gifting to reduce potential IHT liability. This ensures more of your estate is passed on to your future generations and not lost through inheritance tax. Our team will help you make informed decisions that align with your overall financial plans.

Inheritance Tax Exempt Savings (Smaller Companies)

Investing in smaller, unlisted businesses that qualify for Business Relief (BR) can make shares inheritance tax-exempt after just two years. With expert tax advice and knowledge of current tax law, we help identify suitable investments that support your wider tax affairs.

Forestry Investments

Forestry investments offer a sustainable way to build wealth. UK commercial forestry investments become inheritance tax-free after two years and offer tax-free capital gains on timber sales. It's a smart addition to any wealth management plan, providing a balance of ethical impact and tax efficiency.

Tax-Efficient Investment Bonds

Investment bonds are structured to defer taxes until withdrawal, making them ideal for higher-rate taxpayers. By integrating them into your financial plans, we can reduce the amount of personal tax you’ll pay and enhance your investment’s efficiency throughout the tax year.

Our expert financial advisers offer personalised tax advice to help you manage your tax affairs and reduce liability. This may include using ISAs, pensions, and other tax efficient investments, all tailored to your personal circumstances.

What is inheritance tax, and how can I plan for it?

Inheritance tax is a charge on the estate of someone who has died. With smart tax planning, we can minimise this for your beneficiaries using proven strategies like trusts, Business Relief, and gifting, ensuring your wishes are fulfilled and your wealth is passed on efficiently.

When is the best time to start tax planning?

The sooner you start tax planning, the better. Making use of your allowances early in the tax year can maximise benefits and give you more flexibility when adjusting your portfolio. Our financial advisers can help you plan ahead based on your personal circumstances.
