Our commitment
Effective tax planning requires a good understanding of a client's objectives. Lashmars will proide positive advice on establishing an effective tax reducing plan for any situation.
Lashmars use only the most senior tax barristers for technical advice, normally Pump Court Chambers (www.pumptax.com)
General technical opinions can normally be obtained from staff or contracted consultants but where necessary advice is also obtained from PTP Tax Consultancy, Nicola Ross Martin and other boutique specialists.
Inheritance tax planning is becoming of far more relevance to more people now with the exemption limit on £300,000. (Incidentally, if that had kept pace with inflation since being introduced it would now be £480,000).
Lashmars have some simple and effective arrangements for avoiding IHT on a family home and will produce constructive advice on IHT avoidance planning generally.
Lashmars work closely with solicitors Scott Bailey who have a specialist department dealing with the legal aspect, including Wills.
Lashmars believe that they have an obligation to assist all clients to pay as little tax as is legally permissable.
