Income Tax Planning
Proactive tax planning strategies address the challenges associated with both exceptional and difficult financial results. This can include optimising tax relief through strategic timing of machinery purchases and disposals, maximising the use of tax losses, and using averaging reliefs for sole traders and partnerships.
Capital Tax Planning
Ensure the appropriate business structures are in place to help mitigate potential liabilities around Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax and VAT. Our agriculture and farming accountants use their knowledge and experience to offer reliable advice, with a sound understanding of farming-specific rules and reliefs such as Agricultural Property Relief.
Cash Flow
With frequent fluctuations in crop and livestock prices and increasing costs across the board, cash flow management has never been more important and is key to any successful business. We understand the cash flow challenges farming businesses face, such as the financing of input costs through to harvest, deciding when to sell stock, and funding new machinery purchases.
Family Businesses
Family-owned businesses often outperform others  due to their inherent strengths. We have many years’ experience of looking after family businesses, helping them thrive through our experience and knowledge.
Technical Insights and Government Support
Stay ahead with insights into government funding opportunities, tax credit transitions, and evolving tax regulations. We provide proactive support on basis period reform, development gains planning, and capital taxes optimisation.
