It’s never too soon to start your retirement planning, so let Stephenson Smart help you make the right choices.
Whether you are looking to sell the trade and assets of your business, or just the assets or even pass the business on to the next generation we can assist to formulate a suitable exit strategy.
Upon retirement and withdrawing from your business you may fall inside the scope of a wide variety of taxes, from capital gains tax to income tax, VAT, stamp duty reserve tax, Stamp duty land tax and maybe even inheritance tax.

- Business property relief
- Entrepreneurs relief
- Gift relief
- Holdover/Rollover relief
- Annual exemption
- Personal allowances
- Intra spousal transfers
- Terminal loss relief
