Capital Taxes covers how wealth is taxed when it is transferred or realised. In England, solicitors advise on rules around inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and land/asset transfer taxes such as stamp duty land tax and related reliefs, along with the specific reporting and planning required for substantial wealth events. A solicitor practising in this area drafts and structures wills and lifetime gifts, reviews valuations, and communicates with HM Revenue & Customs to secure reliefs, exemptions and correct filings. They may also handle capital gains planning in corporate or personal contexts.
The area relies on complex reliefs, exemptions and timing points under, for example, the Inheritance Tax Act and the Capital Gains Tax regime. A solicitor coordinates valuations, prepares declarations, and negotiates with HMRC, ensuring correct reporting and applying reliefs such as marital or corporate relief. They oversee the interplay between lifetime gifts, death estates, and potential exposure to tax penalties if miscalculated.
