Services
Clifix serves as tax advisor to both companies and owners in many listed and unlisted mid-sized companies. This enables us to propose, for example, restructuring of a corporate group or establishment of an asset management company, not only from the viewpoint of a shareholding strategy for business succession, but also from the viewpoint of ensuring continual business growth.
We also have a national taxation alumnus who have been working in asset taxation for many years as our advisors, and we provide advice from the perspective of the authorities.
Our approach to estate planning is to calculate the amount of inherited tax that would be due if the inheritance were occurring now and then advise our client on the measures needed to reduce that amount.
It also needs to be decided who will inherit what when succession actually occurs, and here the total amount of tax payable may vary considerably depending on whether secondary succession by the children after the death of the remaining spouse has been given due consideration. We provide our clients with tax advice that takes these issues into account.
It is also not uncommon for a tax audit to be conducted if certain amount of property is being inherited. If you wish, we will attend the entire tax audit process and provide support.
