Corporate Tax & Employee Share Incentives
The team advises on a wide spectrum of commercial UK tax issues which arise whether in the course of our clients' business or in the context of specific transactions or tax planning initiatives. Our clients range from individuals to large organisations and we deal with international clients doing business in the UK as well as those based in the UK. We provide high quality solutions based advice which clients can understand whatever their knowledge of tax.
Our expertise includes advising on the tax aspects of mergers and acquisitions, joint venture structures, company reorganisations and reconstructions, share buybacks, EIS and VCT relief, real estate tax transactions (including property investment structures, SDLT, VAT and capital allowances), employment tax issues and in particular tax efficient termination packages. We work closely with our Tax Disputes and Investigations team in particular when advising on tax mitigation schemes to ensure planning is robust.
The team also deals with all aspects of employee incentive arrangements including the design, implementation and administration of approved and unapproved share option schemes, employee benefit trusts, long term incentive plans, growth share plans and cash incentive plans as well as the implications for share incentive arrangements on takeover and IPO. Our Employee Share Incentives clients range from large listed PLCs to start up companies.
