There are many different taxes and fees involved throughout all stages of a property’s life cycle. From Stamp Duty Land Tax (“SDLT”) and VAT on purchase, to the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (“ATED”) during ownership, and Capital Gains Tax (“CGT”) or corporation tax (“CT”) on disposal, it is essential for clients to seek advice to limit their tax liability and ensure they pay no more than the correct amount.

We advise on all issues relating to property taxation, including advice on the best way to structure the acquisition of property, advice on the tax treatment of debt finance, advice on maximising tax deductions and reliefs available such as capital allowances, advice on the VAT implications of property transactions for businesses and advice on the sale of properties. We also have extensive experience in dealing with the compliance aspects of ATED for clients who hold property through companies, including preparation and submission of annual ATED returns, successfully dealing with enquiries from HMRC, and advising clients on bringing their ATED compliance up to date where there has been prior non-compliance, including successful negotiations with HMRC to mitigate the ATED charges where possible, and minimising the level of interest and penalties levied by HMRC.

We believe that our business and the sector in which we operate are relatively low risk in this regard as we employ a workforce of well paid and highly skilled people, we do not generally subcontract out work and we have a limited number of third party suppliers. This statement, however, is a reflection of our commitment to develop and implement working practices to minimise the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking taking place.

We have a whistleblowing policy in place which encourages employees to report wrongdoing in our business, including any suspected criminal activity such as human trafficking or modern slavery. The policy protects employees from detrimental treatment as a result of making the report. We have a clear process for investigating such claims and ensuring that appropriate actions are taken. Our key suppliers are providers of services such as IT software and hardware, professional training and education, cleaning, maintenance, utilities and recruitment. We expect our suppliers to have appropriate anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes in place and when we engage new suppliers we communicate to them that we have zero tolerance in regard to these matters. As we renew our supplier contracts, we will be seeking reassurances that these suppliers have similar procedures in place to help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking.

  • SDLT Advice | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP

    When considering UK property transactions, stamp duty land tax (“SDLT”) can be a very significant cost component - up to 17% where high value residential properties are involved. SDLT ADVICE When considering UK property transactions, stamp duty land tax (“SDLT”) can be a very significant cost component - up to 19% where high value residential properties are involved. Furthermore the SDLT rules have become progressively more complex in recent years, with the introduction of the 5% surcharge on additional residential properties, the 17% flat rate of SDLT for purchases of residential property by companies, and the 2% surcharge for purchases of residential property by non-resident buyers. Our experienced team of SDLT advisers can help to guide clients and their solicitors through these complexities whilst negotiating the notoriously broadly drafted SDLT anti-avoidance provisions, and ensure that they pay no more SDLT than they are legally required to. We have abundant experience in providing detailed SDLT advice and practical guidance to clients and their advisers on complex transactions including multiple completions, multiple purchasers, mixed residential and non-residential purchases, and a variety of substantial residential and commercial lease transactions. Our work includes ensuring that the purchase is structured in a tax efficient manner so that clients are in the best position to claim any SDLT reliefs or allowances that are available based on their specific circumstances. It also includes providing detailed SDLT advice about a proposed transaction, reviewing draft SDLT returns prepared by the client’s solicitors to ensure they correctly reflect our advice, preparing and submitting any claims that may be required to HMRC, and providing advice about minimising the risk of future SDLT enquiries by HMRC.

  • Family Office | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP

    We can advise on the establishment of a family office in order to centralise administration, streamline decision making and enable the family to run its affairs along business lines. We can assist in deciding on appropriate governance of the office. FAMILY OFFICE Some of our clients are family groupings who have complex financial affairs which require a significant degree of administration and support. It is common for such clients to manage their affairs using a family office. In practice, many of the private client services which Rawlinson & Hunter offers are delivered via the family office, so we are experienced in liaising both with the office personnel and with other professionals involved with the client, whether lawyers, bankers, investment managers or others. This has led to an enhanced understanding of the family office, how it operates and what it needs, putting us in a prime position not just to advise the family office in a range of different ways but also to advise the clients on the structure and operation of the family office itself. For instance, we can advise on the establishment of a family office in order to centralise administration, streamline decision making and enable the family to run its affairs along business lines. We can assist in deciding on appropriate governance of the office. Indeed, partners of Rawlinson & Hunter sometimes sit on the family council or advisory group. We tend to take a pragmatic approach, designing a structure and processes which will operate smoothly. Once the office is operational, the Firm can deliver a wide range of private client services to the family via the family office. We can provide cash flow forecasting ahead of a purchase and provide financial material for a fee negotiation. We can assist with the selection processes for new service providers and provide full support on IT and HR matters. We can monitor projects and steer them towards the required end result, track costs and assess delivery against a service agreement. We can assist with the financial education of the next generation of the family and liaise with other professional advisers. We are also fortunate to be in a position where our clients trust us to see the full picture. Where a client chooses not to have a family office, there are also a number of services which the Firm can offer which are of a nature which a family office would provide. Our experience is such that we can advise on the establishment of the client’s family offices, support the family office with a multiplicity of services and even act as the client’s family office.

  • Probate | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP

    One consequence of the Firm’s partner-led service is that our clients tend over time to forge a close and trusting relationship with the Partner responsible for their affairs. It is therefore perhaps unsurprising that many clients ask a Partner of the Firm to act as an Executor under their Will. PROBATE One consequence of the Firm’s partner-led service is that our clients tend over time to forge a close and trusting relationship with the Partner responsible for their affairs. It is therefore perhaps unsurprising that many clients ask a Partner of the Firm to act as an Executor under their Will. This can be done either through a personal appointment or through the Firm’s trust corporation. The Firm is authorised by the ICAEW to conduct non-contentious probate work, and a number of the Firm’s partners and Directors are qualified to provide these services. We can therefore work with the co-executors of the estate and its beneficiaries and offer full and immediate professional support through to the end of the administration period. We recognise the sensitivity which is required at such a time. With our existing detailed knowledge of our clients’ financial affairs, we are well placed, with a comprehensive understanding of their financial affairs, to identify the assets falling within the estate, liquidate them where necessary, prepare estate accounts and distribute the estate to the beneficiaries in accordance with the Will. Where the Will provides for the creation of a trust to hold the assets from the estate going forward, we are then able to provide a full range of trustee and trust administration services. As tax specialists, we can also advise carefully on the Inheritance Tax implications of the estate. Sometimes, beneficiaries of an estate wish to disclaim or vary their entitlements and this can have an impact on the Inheritance Tax position. This is an area in which we frequently advise and have significant experience. Where business interests fall within the estate and have to be valued, this is an area where we have considerable experience and we are able to negotiate and agree valuations with HMRC, as well as agree the availability of reliefs. At a difficult time for the family, our role is to ensure that the estate is administered with efficiency and discretion.

  • Employment Taxes | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP

    Employing people in the UK carries with it a host of real time PAYE tax compliance and reporting obligations, as well as liability to National Insurance contributions. It is a considerable and time-consuming responsibility requiring a sound knowledge of complex payroll, taxation and employment legislation. EMPLOYMENT TAXES Employing people in the UK carries with it a host of real time PAYE tax compliance and reporting obligations, as well as liability to National Insurance contributions. It is a considerable and time-consuming responsibility requiring a sound knowledge of complex payroll, taxation and employment legislation. Great care is required to ensure that requirements are met. We have a dedicated payroll team which can undertake this work for you and give you peace of mind. In particular, we can administer PAYE schemes and deal with parental leave, sick pay, Apprenticeship Levy and student loan repayment. Depending on your preference, we can arrange payments to your staff through a client account, as well as payments of tax and National Insurance to HMRC. We can deal with benefits and expenses reporting and advise on bonuses, ex-gratia payments and termination packages. We can also provide support with HMRC PAYE audits. This is all relatively routine, but it needs to be dealt with accurately and with efficiency. Beyond this basic but essential offering, another area where we have considerable experience is with employee share schemes. Many of our entrepreneurial clients look to retain key employees through share incentives and we are able to advise on the options available in each situation and design and implement share schemes which align with their business strategy and objectives. This would include the agreement of share valuations with HMRC, where needed. We can also review, monitor and revise existing share plans to improve the commercial and tax effects in response to changes in business profile and legislation. Many of the Firm’s clients are entrepreneurs with businesses which employ people. Some of our clients have an international profile and move between countries frequently, or have employees who are internationally mobile. It is therefore important that we can deal with secondments overseas and into the UK, with all of the attendant consequences. We have a specialist tax team which advises in this area, with a particular emphasis on residence status, tax equalisation arrangements, overseas workday relief and ensuring that remuneration, including share incentives such as restricted stock units, is correctly allocated to different work periods so that the same remuneration is not taxed in two countries. We can advise on and put into operation reliefs against PAYE earnings where a portion of income is protected by a tax treaty or is only taxable on the remittance basis. It is also essential to ensure that an employee is not subject to the social security regime of more than one country. All of this is complex and requires familiarity with the operation of Double Taxation Agreements and social security agreements, so that the timing of any relief or exemptions due can be accelerated. Keeping on top of all of the challenges which employers and their employees face can be a daunting task, but our specialists have the skills and experience necessary to provide clear advice and professional support in these areas.

  • Estates | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP

    Estate planning requires a detailed appreciation of our clients’ financial and personal circumstances. Our emphasis on client relationships places us in a position to provide support in this critical area. ESTATES Estate planning requires a detailed appreciation of our clients’ financial and personal circumstances. Our emphasis on client relationships places us in a position to provide support in this critical area. Regular reviews of the estate and detailed illustrative calculations of potential liabilities keep our clients aware of opportunities available to them, while our international focus allows us to advise clients with assets in multiple jurisdictions. Regular discussions with the client and the client’s family keep us apprised of their wishes as they develop and enable us to act in their best interests and ensure that their Wills reflect their wishes and are tax efficient. For UK connected clients, the Inheritance Tax regime provides excellent opportunities to plan estates and protect family wealth through the use of lifetime gifts, trusts, family limited partnerships and family investment companies. Where there is a US angle, we can advise on the interaction between UK Inheritance Tax and US Estate and Gift Tax. Our partners are also experienced in acting as executors, either through a personal appointment or through the Firm’s trust corporation, and either alone or with family members or lawyers. At a difficult time for the family, our role is to ensure that the estate is administered with efficiency and discretion. With our existing detailed knowledge of our clients’ financial affairs, we are well placed to identify the assets falling within the estate, liquidate them where necessary and distribute the estate to the beneficiaries in accordance with the Will. We have all the necessary experience to deal with the administration of the estate, from the initial application for probate to the final distribution. The close relationships we build up with our clients mean that we can deal effectively with any sensitive family issues that arise. Our Specialists
