How we can help

Personal tax compliance

We support clients with the preparation and submission of personal tax returns, helping ensure their reporting obligations are met accurately and on time.

This may include reporting income, capital gains and other relevant tax matters, while helping clients maintain appropriate records and stay on top of key deadlines.

Capital gains tax and income tax planning

Investment decisions, asset sales and changes in personal circumstances can all affect your tax position.

We help clients understand the potential implications, make use of available allowances and consider planning opportunities within the rules.

Inheritance tax planning

Inheritance tax can be an important consideration when planning how to pass on wealth to future generations.

We help clients understand the potential impact of inheritance tax as part of wider estate, succession and financial planning, supporting informed decisions that reflect both personal wishes and family priorities.

Trust tax compliance

Trustees have important tax responsibilities that require careful management and accurate reporting.

We support trustees with trust tax returns, trust accounts and related reporting requirements, helping them meet their obligations, maintain appropriate records and manage the trust with confidence.

Estate tax support

Administering an estate can involve a range of tax considerations, including inheritance tax, income tax and capital gains tax.

We support executors and families with the tax aspects of estate administration, helping them understand their obligations, meet reporting requirements and manage the process with confidence.

Family companies and related structures

Where appropriate, we provide accounting and tax support for family companies, investment companies and related structures.

Depending on your circumstances, this may include corporation tax, VAT and accounting support, helping you meet your obligations and manage these structures effectively.

Tax decisions should not sit in isolation

Tax is often closely connected to wider financial and family planning. Investment income may affect a tax return, a capital gain may influence broader financial decisions, and inheritance tax planning may link to wills, trusts, gifting or family governance.

By considering tax in context, we help clients make informed decisions that are better aligned with their wider objectives.

Rathbones Trust Company is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in future.
