Most assets you own may give rise to a liability to Capital Gains Tax if you realise a gain when you sell them or give them away. Some assets are exempt and every individual has an annual exemption. There are also various reliefs which may be available in certain circumstances and provided specific conditions are satisfied. The calculation of the capital gain arising can also be complicated in many instances.

Recent legislation has resulted in significant changes in the rules for calculating capital gains. In particular, the abolition of indexation allowance for individuals and trustees, but not companies, and the introduction of taper relief, has added further complications to an already complicated tax.

Inheritance Tax may not the be the first form of taxation which springs to mind when you think of tax. After all, it is not a tax which you pay personally. It is a tax payable out of your estate after you die. However, since the rate of tax is currently 40%, it can make a substantial difference to the value of your assets which you can leave to your heirs on your death.

As with most forms of tax in this country, careful planning in advance can often substantially reduce the amount of tax payable. There are various reliefs available and exemptions which can be used to reduce the impact of Inheritance Tax on your estate. Also, there are various practical matters which can be implemented to make things easier for your personal representatives and beneficiaries.

As a member of STEP, the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, John has demonstrated his expertise in this area of tax planning which can be available to you by contacting him direct. Do not let the taxman be a major beneficiary of your estate. Set out above is just a taste of the finacial services John can offer you, as a business or as an individual.
