“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” So said Benjamin Franklin back in 1789, and his words ring just as true in the 21st century.
Today, HMRC is placing an ever-greater burden of responsibility upon individuals to calculate and file their tax returns correctly and punctually… and threatening ever-greater financial penalties for failing in either regard. And with the changing dynamic of family life within the UK, there’s never been a time when it’s been more important to maximize the tax efficiency of the legacy to be passed on to the next generation to help them establish their first steps on the financial ladder.
At Hamlyns, we can’t insulate you from the certainty of death or taxes; but we will work hard on your behalf to minimize their impact on you and your family.
