Owner managed businesses

Now that the dust has settled on the Summer Budget, and what passed for a summer is behind us, I am starting a series of fortnightly blogs concentrating on tax issues with a particular target audience in mind. 

I am going to start with a series of topics which are relevant for owner managed businesses and their owners.

I will follow this with a series of blogs looking at tax planning for high net worth individuals after which I will have a series on relevant one-off specialised tax topics.

I will intersperse the planned blogs with blogs on topical issues resulting from changes in: prevailing tax legislation, HMRC practice, decided tax cases and anything else with a newsworthy tax angle.

My first series of blogs will cover the following topics for OMBs:

• Structuring the business
• Taxing the business structures
• Company – tax planning
• Company – management and staff incentives
• Company – ownership structure
• Company – profit extraction
• Company – onward sale
• Company – will and estate planning

It is intended that each of the blogs will give the headline issues.

As with all such blog items I can only cover the main issues so please ensure that you secure proper professional input before any action is taken on the back of what you may read.

I hope you find the blogs useful.
