Tax & Tax Planning

“Tax does not have to be taxing, provided you have the support of specialist tax lawyers." Helen Starkie, Partner & Head of Wealth Management

The tax burden is ever increasing, so there is is all the more reason to stay ahead of the Revenue, to ensure your tax liabilities are legitimately as low as possible.

Our team not only includes solicitors but a member of the Association of Taxation Technicians and members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. The 2008 edition of the Legal 500 ranked the team in the top tier for Personal tax, trusts and probate in Hampshire .

For many people tax can be an unwanted burden. We can take the burden away with our comprehensive tax compliance service, whether it is for personal self-assessment tax returns, or for trustees or personal representatives.

On the planning side we can advise on tax efficient arrangements, including wills and trusts, which will help to plan for, mitigate, or even avoid future liabilities to inheritance tax, capital gains tax and income tax.

Finally, where your options extend beyond the legal solutions, we can help to coordinate advice from your financial advisers and stockbrokers on regulated products to support our own advice. Please note however that as a firm of solicitors we do not offer advice on financial services or investments.
