Maintaining desired income levels for the business owner and achieving the optimum balance between a dividend and employment remuneration strategy in times of changing taxes requires careful planning.
On top of this, it is essential that businesses recruit, retain and motivate their employees. This can be achieved by designing remuneration packages which minimise tax and National Insurance for both employees and employers. A remuneration package may include salary, pension contributions, benefits and the option to acquire shares in the company via an HMRC approved share scheme.
Employers need to ensure that remuneration packages are competitive, that they meet employee’s needs and that they are tax-efficient for both parties. Our team can help provide the optimum solution for you and your staff.

Read more...Many business owners are finding it harder to extract profits from their business tax-efficiently, and recent pension legislation changes have restricted the amount of money that can be invested in a personal pension if the investor wishes to keep all of the associated tax benefits.
To complicate matters, the investment landscape has changed in recent years. Historically low interest rates have forced individuals to shun cash deposit accounts and to look for better returns elsewhere. Inflation-beating investment returns are proving harder to come by. Businesses holding large sums of cash on deposit have even fewer options.
No wonder that business owners are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their personal tax liabilities, as well as putting their company’s cash to work more tax-efficiently. Business owners and owner-managed businesses are increasingly turning towards government-approved tax-efficient investments. Investors can feel confident that the tax benefits they claim are in return for helping smaller companies to prosper.
