Most people pay more tax than they need to. Not through any fault of their own, but simply because reviewing your tax position and restructuring where necessary takes time, knowledge and expertise that most people understandably do not have. At Abram Partnership, our Cardiff-based independent financial advisers carry out a thorough review of your financial affairs to identify tax planning opportunities and help you act on them before it is too late.

What tax planning involves

Tax planning is the process of organising your finances so that you are not paying more tax than you are legally required to. It is not about aggressive avoidance - it is about making use of the reliefs, allowances and investment structures that exist precisely for this purpose.

We work alongside your existing accountant rather than replacing them, focusing specifically on the investment and financial planning side of your tax position. The areas we can help with include:

  • Capital gains tax — structuring the disposal of assets to make use of annual exemptions and reduce the tax you pay on gains
  • Inheritance tax — planning your estate so that more of what you have built passes to the people you choose
  • Income tax — reviewing your income sources, pension contributions and investment wrappers to reduce your overall liability
  • Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly Entrepreneurs' Relief) — advising business owners on how to structure a sale or exit tax-efficiently
  • Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) and Venture Capital Trusts (VCT) — higher-risk investments that carry significant tax advantages for those they suit

What tax planning involves

We advise individuals, families and business owners across Cardiff and Wales. Tax planning becomes particularly valuable at key life stages — when you are approaching retirement, selling a business, receiving an inheritance, or simply reaching a point where your income and assets have grown to a level where your tax position deserves proper attention.

We are happy to offer a free initial consultation to understand your situation and explain how we might be able to help.
