Business restructuring to become more tax-efficient
Corporate restructuring could significantly reduce your tax liability, and receiving business restructuring advice will ensure that a reorganisation takes advantage of any applicable tax relief.
Without careful consideration, restructuring a business could lead to an increased tax burden during the reorganisation process. Our dedicated consultants are always on hand to provide you with trusted, valuable advice that helps to avoid any missteps.
Additionally, tax liabilities can include:
- Stamp duty on the transfer of shares
- Stamp duty land tax (SDLT) on the transfer of any property
- VAT and Corporation Tax on any income that is generated
Tax implications can also lead to the loss of available tax relief, which is why we strongly recommend getting professional advice before moving forward.
