Practice Areas
Corporate Tax
Despite the uncertain economic climate (or perhaps because of it), corporate tax is still a very buoyant area of our practice and high on the agenda of clients for their businesses.
The introduction of further stamp duty land tax anti-avoidance legislation has meant that the use of SDLT mitigation structures has fallen away and we are advising more on the use of corporate vehicles for property transactions, as well as different forms of partnership for joint ventures.
The general economic climate means we are providing more refinancing and debt restructuring advice and working on acquisition and disposals of insolvent and struggling businesses, which bring their own particular tax issues.
In addition to the changes in the area of SDLT, the other major legislative corporate tax change has been the scrapping of taper relief and its replacement by entrepreneurs' relief. The level of international work (whether inbound or outbound investment, funds or listed company work) has increased noticeably in the last twelve months and we have been involved in project managing tax advisers in multiple jurisdictions as well as advising on the UK tax aspects.
