  • International tax

    For many individuals, the UK tax situation should be relatively straight forward, but for those retaining property and investments outside of the UK, or wishing to transfer sums of income and capital into the UK to cover living or other expenses, the UK tax position can become a lot more complicated.
    We help our non-resident and non-domiciled clients file their tax returns to the UK tax authorities. We also help individuals assess whether or not they are UK resident for tax purposes under the Statutory Residence Test In doing so, we ensure that double taxation is kept to an absolute minimum.

  • Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

    Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is payable when you sell relevant assets such as shares or property and make a profit in excess of the annual exemption. CGT is broadly payable on the difference between the allowable costs of the relevant asset and what you sold it for.
    In order to mitigate CGT, it is important to seek expert advice early on in the process. At Shaw Gibbs, we are able to calculate the CGT that you have to pay on disposal, while advising on the reliefs and exemptions available such as Principle Private Residence (PPR) relief. In addition, we have extensive expertise in working with non-UK residents and UK CGT implications.

  • Inheritance Tax (IHT)

    Inheritance tax (IHT) is levied on a person’s estate when they die, and certain gifts made during an individual’s lifetime. Most gifts made more than seven years before death will escape tax. Therefore, if you plan in advance, gifts can be made tax-free: the result can be a substantial tax saving.
    In seeking professional advice, there is scope for substantial savings surrounding IHT. At Shaw Gibbs, we look to tailor our strategy to fit your situation. We look to take into account your circumstances and aspirations, whilst focusing on your long term financial security.
