Course description

Individuals who own and run family companies always endeavour to achieve the optimum post-tax return on sales of their shares. Those who pass down their holdings to the next generation are invariably concerned with ensuring that their IHT exposure is minimised, and that advantage has been taken of all the available reliefs.


Presented by tax expert Robert Jamieson, this course examines the key taxation issues which need to be considered in these areas. It will explore the implications of the Upper Tribunal’s decision in the Allam case, the attraction of an own share purchase, business relief planning and pitfalls, and deathbed planning with rights issues, plus much more.


If you advise clients and their families on succession planning issues then this course is for you.
