There are many aspects to small business taxation and tax reliefs, as well as the taxation of business owners on their withdrawal trading profits. Planning is crucial.

Tax Efficiency of Business Structure

Consultants practice either through a limited company, a partnership or self-employed alone. To determine the best route, there are many considerations that we discuss with our consultant clients and this involves getting to know them and their circumstances well.

Factors to consider include who your clients will be, how much you expect to earn, what other income you have, how much income you require, whether your spouse can be involved in the business – and many more.

All consultants want to know how to reward themselves financially in the most tax efficient way possible. No two consultants’ situations are quite the same and each requires its own tailor-made strategy, which may vary year on year depending on the results of the business, personal cash requirements and the presence of other investors.
In addition, tax rules and tax rates change frequently, which means that any remuneration strategy must be kept under regular review.
