Corporate & Business Tax
Making the complex simple
Ensuring your business is not just tax compliant but as tax efficient as possible is not easy when you are trying to do your day job.
ETC Tax provide specialist corporate and business tax advice combining excellent technical knowledge with broad commercial experience.
Buying or Selling a Company
A sale or purchase of a business will always have tax implications. A buyer and seller will typically have differing objectives when it comes to structuring the transaction.
If you are thinking of selling your business, the earlier you can get us involved in that process the better as we can help ensure that any tax risks are identified early (and where possible reduced), that any pre-sale restructuring is completed well in advance and that the transaction itself is structured to give you the best result.
Reorganisations & Reconstructions
Business owners might want to restructure their business for a variety of commercial reasons, such as succession planning, planning for a sale or purchase, or restructuring a group to maximise tax efficiency and savings. Reorganisations can be complex and can take time and early planning and proper tax advice is crucial.
Innovative Tax Reliefs
Research & Development (‘R&D’) Relief, Patent Box relief and for those in specific sectors other types of Creative Industry Reliefs, such as Film Tax Relief, Video Games Tax Relief or Animation Tax Relief can provide excellent incentives and rewards for businesses where available.
EIS and SEIS
The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) are government initiatives designed to encourage and support private investment into SMEs. Companies who qualify can become an attractive proposition for UK investors.
Employee Incentivisation and Share Schemes
Employee share schemes are widely used as an attractive way to reward and retain employees. They continue to be a popular remuneration tool, with recent figures from HMRC showing increases in the use of such schemes. ETC Tax can advise on all types of employee share scheme but the most popular tend to be EMI share schemes and growth share arrangements. Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) are another increasingly popular way for business’ to reward staff on a partial exit and we have significant experience in advising on these.
International Issues
Despite economic, tax, political and social challenges, , expanding overseas remains high on the agenda of many UK businesses. There are many different ways to achieve international expansion and each carries different tax consequences.
