Whittingham Riddell offers a comprehensive range of taxation services, from tax return completion and compliance work to providing specialist tax advice to individuals, family-owned businesses and companies.

When you appoint Whittingham Riddell as your tax adviser, a Principal will take personal responsibility for you as a client, and you’ll have access to that Principal and a dedicated member of one of our specialist support teams for all your taxation requirements.

Taxation advice is provided by all Principals, a number of whom are chartered tax adviser members of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. Principals are supported by qualified taxation accountants and consultants, in various specialist areas, and all these personnel have the backing of a dedicated tax team.

As well as dealing with all aspects of income tax, capital gains tax, corporation tax and VAT, considerable emphasis is placed on inheritance tax mitigation.

There are many reliefs and exemptions which the ordinary taxpayer can claim, and, in addition, sole traders, partnerships, and companies (and their shareholders) need to protect their business assets for future generations from an Inheritance Tax charge. Planning is vital in this area.

Between the average homeowner and the wealthiest businessman there are a multitude of situations that merit sound Inheritance Tax planning. We aim to review your personal circumstances to devise an appropriate Inheritance Tax mitigation strategy.

Whittingham Riddell also have expertise in dealing with trusts and their implications, in terms of tax mitigation and in terms of succession planning. We deal with a wide range of trusts from straightforward grandchild's’ settlements to large family discretionary settlements.

As tax advisers, our objective is to work closely with you to ensure that you pay the minimum tax required by law on the transactions you carry out. We help you understand the tax implications of your actions, so that you can plan ahead and conduct your affairs in a tax efficient way.
