EFFICIENT INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Preserving your wealth through efficient planning
Analysing and arranging your financial situation to minimise your exposure to unnecessary taxation is vital for protecting and growing your funds. Without tax planning you could end up overpaying which is likely to have a significantly detrimental effect on your overall income. Our team of experienced, professional advisers will discuss the most suitable and efficient ways for you to manage your wealth. They will devise a plan and look at your sources of income, investments, expenses and any potential deductions. The types of tax – and amounts – you will be obligated to pay will depend on many variables, such as your employment status, your investment portfolio if you have one and the investments it includes. Typically income tax, dividend tax, salary sacrifice, tax-efficient investments, Stocks and Shares ISAs, pension contributions, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and Inheritance Tax will be evaluated. Though, of course, there are many other kinds.

Inheritance tax planning strategies
Several areas need attention when it comes to inheritance tax planning. We take a holistic approach to ensure nothing is missed, looking at everything from gifts and exemptions to your will.
-
Capital gains tax management
Capital Gains Tax is a tax on any profit you make when you sell or dispose of an asset that has gained value. Assets can include anything from personal possessions to property.
-
Tax advantaged retirement planning
Our retirement planning advisers will look at your financial and personal circumstances, your vision for your retirement and then look at tax advantaged ways to help you achieve this.
-
Business owner planning
The type and amount of business owner taxation you need to pay will depend on many variables – whether you are self-employed or a director, for example. We can keep things tax-efficient for you.
Maximising tax deduction allowances
It’s important to take advantage of all tax deduction allowances you are entitled to – from travel expenses to bank charges.
Tax and estate planning
Personalised estate planning services
James Leighton Wealth Management’s advisers help you protect your assets and manage your tax liabilities, as well as ensure your wishes are honoured through wills, trusts and other legal means. We can take care of everything, including matters like settlement of estate planning, taxes and debts, making plans for any financial obligations that may arise.
Family tax planning
Smart and efficient planning
Family tax planning is about utilising all exemptions and allowances that are open to you. All of us in the UK have a personal tax-free allowance and are taxed independently. When looking at family taxation, we take a holistic approach to your own unique set of circumstances, as well as the circumstances of other relevant family members.
Tax advantages of gifting
Reducing your Inheritance Tax
One of the biggest reasons that people gift property is to reduce their Inheritance Tax liability. It’s a matter of protecting their wealth so that they may pass it on to loved ones or younger generations, without losing vast sums by doing so. As you gift property to your spouse or children, you are reducing the overall value of your estate.
