Following the Budget, are the previous Tax Nav case studies still relevant? Would we need to change anything in the advice we gave previously, or are they unaffected by the new legislation?

In Tax Nav 5, we are going to briefly re-visit each of these case studies, to explore how these are different after the Budget, whether we would do anything differently now, and of course, whether these are still good ideas to discuss with your clients.

Watch the fifth Tax Nav on demand here: BUDGET ’24 & SMEs –  Navigating changes for Business Exits, FICs and SSAS

Duration: 1 hour

Our Tax Nav series is aimed at showing the types of client scenarios that we come across regularly, and the type of projects that we get involved with. Over the last 6 months, our Tax Nav presentations have covered a number of different real life case studies, including:

  • Business Exits
  • Employee Ownership Trusts
  • Family Buyouts
  • Family Investment Companies
  • Tax planning using a SSAS
