Frequently asked questions

How can we structure our business tax-efficiently?

To advise on business structure, we’d have to look at your structure in the context of your wider goals (growth, profit extraction, succession, or exit) before advising on the most efficient way to get there, without exposing you to unnecessary risk.

Does Making Tax Digital apply to corporation tax?

No. HMRC has confirmed it will not mandate Making Tax Digital for corporation tax. We’ll keep you informed if that position changes.

Can you advise on the tax side of a deal?

Yes. We work hand-in-hand with our corporate finance team on acquisitions, disposals, and reorganisations, so the tax structuring is built into the deal from the start.

What about R&D and capital allowances?

Both are specialist areas and Wbg has dedicated teams that advise on these. We’ll make sure legitimate claims are identified and handled with the rigour HMRC expects.

Who deals with our corporation tax return each year?

A consistent team who knows your business, so compliance is accurate, on time, and informed by an understanding of your wider position.

What our clients say

“Wbg’s Tax Partner, Catherine McManus, and her team have helped me through several complex transactions from demerging my business to two onward sales.

All achieved with prior planning and consideration given to the specific tax complexities throughout, including corporation tax, capital gains tax and income tax. Catherine has the ability to explain tax complexities in an understandable manner making the whole process less stressful.

The service from start to finish was excellent and efficient and I have no qualms about endorsing and recommending Wbg’s services to others.”
