Tax Saving Business Structures

How to set up your business to get the most from the tax system

A Tips & Advice Special Report about...

In a nutshell

This Special Report compares the tax pros and cons of different types of business structure ranging from sole traders to companies, mixed partnerships and more. It also looks at how different business structures can be used tax efficiently for specific purposes.

In detail

Tax efficiency is often a key factor when choosing a structure for a business. However, these structures don’t have to be static. For example, a general partnership might be the tax efficient choice for a loss-making start-up but later a company or group of companies could shelter its business profits from income tax. 

Choosing the right structure for your business at the right time can save thousands in tax every year. This Special report explores the tax landscape of basic and more complex structures.
