Tax mitigation is the art of organising your affairs in a manner that reduces your tax bill, practically, legally and taking full account of the consequences on you and your business as a whole. This is a balancing act. It requires knowledge of the tax system but also knowledge of your business. That knowledge is gained through continuous professional education, keeping abreast of the latest changes and adapting to them but most importantly by listening to you.
At Graham Martin & Co we have a wealth of experience not only from our near 40 years in business but also the collective experience of our long-serving team and diverse client base. We will respond quickly and effectively to your accounting needs and, where appropriate, we will offer ideas and initiatives to grow your business and mitigate your tax.
An ideal client will have a sound business idea. They will tell us what they are going to do rather than what they have done and will listen to our advice. Our aim is for them to become advocates for our business through the development of trust in our services. We, in turn, hope to develop the same trust in them and as a consequence become advocates for them.

Why is that relevant to you? It can be hard to know who to speak to for good Estate Planning. You need an expert who can look at the bigger picture and understand how your wills will fit into your overall financial planning, how to protect your assets from outside forces, and provide simple solutions to meet your requirements.
A good Associate will be able to look at your potential Inheritance Tax liability and any tax planning, including Trusts, you may need to do around that. The advantage of using someone like Straight Talk is the financial background we have that allows us to think outside the box of Wills and Trusts and point you in the direction of a good financial adviser if we think there is any planning you can put in place now that will help your family and estate later.
