Tax is a major cost for business and is an extremely complex area of law. The volume of new legislation is greater than ever before, and the rules can change at any time of the year, not just following the annual budget.
As a consequence it is increasingly difficult for businesses to keep up to date and it has become even more important to seek expert advice. Such advice is of course needed for all aspects of your business but can be particularly key when you are involved in a major property or corporate transaction.
Semple Fraser advises on a wide range of taxes in many commercial situations. Using our expertise on all taxes which impinge on major transactions, such as Capital Gains Tax, Corporation Tax, environmental taxes, Stamp Duty Land Tax and VAT, we can guide you on how to structure a transaction so as to minimise your tax cost. Often what reduces one tax will increase the exposure to another, and what is beneficial to one party to a deal may be detrimental to the other. By planning and negotiating a deal with an eye to the tax consequences from the outset, Semple Fraser can help you get the best result overall.
We are not here simply to tick boxes. Mirroring the ethos of the firm, our skill is in proactively exploring every avenue of opportunity open to us within the law to identify liabilities and minimise your tax bill. The bare minimum is no help to anyone.
