Tax & payroll
Group structure planning
A group is easy to create and expensive to unwind. We plan the structure first — holding company, trading subsidiaries, property companies, associated-company tests — so the accounts, the corporation tax rate and any later sale or gift sit on the right entities.

- Whether a holding company, a trading subsidiary, or a property company is the right next step
