tax mitigation

It is inevitable that the tax consequences for almost all of the services that we deliver will have to be considered.

This can range from thoughts on the tax implications on any severance payment to an employee, to the commercial arrangements on any new venture - or even disputes between parties.

Tax expertise is often provided by the existing accountants, but sometimes a second opinion may be necessary; if only because, like the medical profession, the GP may turn to a consultant for a diagnosis (or to keep the medical analogy going, a cure!).

CCW has available in-house proven expertise in tax which complements the legal aspects of our advice and enables us to both identify issues as well as provide solutions (sometimes to problems that a client may not know even exist).

The service is not intended to replace the services available from any present tax adviser, but rather to work with them on considering the concepts and strategies of a proposed transaction - and to leave future compliance and detail for the present tax advisers to implement.

The role will always be proactive by suggesting structures which both identify and explore opportunities for savings on overall tax exposure (whilst still allowing our clients to sleep at night!). 

Our tax mitigation services are designed to ensure that we don’t deliver our advice in a tax “vacuum” and to ensure that as we work with our clients we are able to spot opportunities for mitigating taxation.
