Wealth Management Planning: The UK Tax Principles
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Nov 2008, Pages: 512
The UK Tax Principles
This book addresses the major UK tax issues affecting wealth management planning for both the UK domiciled and non-UK domiciled individual.
It explains, with worked practical examples, the principles underpinning the three main taxes: income tax; capital gains tax; and inheritance tax.
The book is aimed at those involved in providing advice in the field of wealth management planning as it seeks to provide such advisors with the basics underpinning the relevant UK taxes. It is not intended for the tax specialist although the tax generalist may find the book of help.
Trusts are an integral part of any wealth tax planning exercise and extensive discussion of the implications of both UK and non-UK resident trusts is covered. Other issues covered include a detailed analysis of the concepts of domicile and residence; house ownership structures for the non-UK domiciled individual; property ownership analysis; wills and much more. In view of the international nature of the typical high net worth individual the book puts the UK tax rules in an international context. Thus, issues addressed in this regard include: the role of wills in the international arena; the differences between the UK common law rules and those of civil law jurisdictions; double taxation agreements; the implications of the EU (including the important recent EU savings directive); and discussion of offshore financial centres in the light of the onslaught from amongst others the OECD and FATF.
Most importantly full account has been taken of the major tax changes introduced, in particular, in both the finance act 2006 and the finance act 2008.
Wealth Management Planning addresses the major UK tax issues affecting wealth management planning for both the UK domiciled and non-UK domiciled individual. It explains, with numerous worked practical examples, the principles underpinning the three main taxes: income tax; capital gains tax; and inheritance tax. It is aimed at those involved in providing advice in the field of wealth management planning including solicitors, accountants, financial planners, private bankers, trustees, students of tax and law and the layman seeking in depth knowledge.
The recent Finance Acts 2006 and 2008, in particular, have modified significantly the tax rules in key areas applicable to wealth management planning. These new tax rules are all addressed in detail in this book and include the pre and post Finance Act 2006 inheritance tax treatment of trusts; the new post Finance Act 2008 residence rules; and the new Finance Act 2008 rules applicable to non-domiciled individuals and the tax treatment of off shore trusts. In view of the increasingly international nature of wealth management planning the book attempts to place the UK tax rules in an international context addressing such issues as: the role of wills in the international arena; the implications of the EU; the suitability of off shore financial centres; and the role and use of double taxation agreements.
Appendices bring together useful material produced by HMRC and a detailed bibliography for the interested reader is also included.

It will be very valuable to all those Financial Planners who wish to extend their learning and reference and desire to meet the needs of clients.
