Corporate Reorganisations/Demergers

We design and implement appropriate restructuring strategies that align with your business and family goals and minimising tax liabilities. Our solutions include for instance Holding Companies, demergers, hive-downs, Company Purchase of Own Shares, Employee Ownership Trusts, and Family Investment Companies.

Execute clean separations of business divisions with tax-neutral demergers, whether via statutory or non-statutory routes; and business “partitions” to separate business units out to their respective shareholders. We navigate shareholder objectives, multiple corporate and personal taxes, and HMRC clearance applications to achieve optimal outcomes.

Manage multi-jurisdictional reorganisations with confidence, addressing tax residency, permanent establishment risks, and treaty reliefs. Our expertise ensures seamless transitions while mitigating double taxation and compliance pitfalls.

Secure HMRC clearances and maintain compliance during reorganisations or demergers. We prepare detailed submissions, manage communications, and safeguard transactions against retrospective challenges.
