The tax consequences of a transaction can make or break the deal. The specialist transactional tax department at Mercury Tax Group provides a unique mix of technical acumen along with cutting edge ideas to provide a tailored solution to minimise the tax consequences of a deal for both the business and the owners.

As a specialist advisory firm we do not undertake compliance activities i.e. the preparation and completion of tax returns either personal or corporate. Accordingly we can offer an independent service which does not interfere with your ongoing relationship with your client. 

Headed up by Stephen Burwood, (click here for CV) the team provides a mix of extensive tax and accounting experience to provide innovative and commercially aware planning.

We can help individuals and their businesses that for example have one or more of the following challenges which require tax planning:

• A desire by the current owners to sell
• A shareholder dispute where one party would like to leave the business and sell his / her shares
• A desire by the management team to buy the company either alone or with a third party investor.
• The possibility of key employees being given the opportunity to acquire shares in the business, either now or at some time in the future.
• A wish to pass part of the business to the next generation and retain say an investment based income stream.
• Cash rich companies where the owners wish to extract funds tax efficiently.
• Any transaction which may give rise to a tax liability where mitigation is required.

We offer a full advisory support service and we encourage you to discuss issues with us either by telephone, email or in meetings. We do not charge for this service and will only raise fee notes when an engagement had been agreed.
