Succession Planning: Family Investment Companies
Is it possible to protect, give away and grow your assets all at the same time?
The landscape of personal taxation and compliance is ever changing. Add to that every family has unique dynamics and objectives as regards their estate planning needs and the result is that the structures and vehicles available to meet these needs have also had to evolve.
At this event, our experts will consider how one vehicle, the Family Investment Company, can be used for tax efficient succession planning for people whose estate is likely to incur substantial IHT charges on their death.
The roundtable format will enable delegates to be fully immersed in the discussion with plenty of opportunity to get involved and ask questions on the topics that are important to them.
Taking place on Wednesday 20th July at 1.00pm at Sandbach Town Hall, our panel will answer all your questions on Family Investment Companies, including:
Shawn Gallimore from Alextra Accountants – the basics
- What is a Family Investment Company and how can it protect the family wealth?
