When it comes to succession, the most important advice anyone can give a family business owner is: plan. Plan early, and plan ahead.

It takes strength and focus, but you must base your succession strategy solely on appointing the best person (or people) for the job. Whatever your decision, it must be right for the business.

There are a series of reliefs available to them enabling them to pay less or even no VAT. This can assist with cash flow for those charities which can recover the VAT they incur since they don’t have to pay the VAT and then wait to get it back again later on.

One thing we come across many times is that charities don’t want to get involved with VAT and so deliberately try to avoid being seen to be in business. Whilst understandable because the compliance cost can be high and the potential for penalty worrying in the case of error, there can of course be advantages.

“Is my income a grant or a fee?” is a common question we get asked. Clearly, a simple grant is outside the scope of VAT so there is no VAT to concern yourself with but where there is a fee, VAT may well be due.

The thing that might really put a £90,000 Porsche (or something similar) on a company director’s horizon is the fact that the company can potentially claim 100% of the purchase price against its Corporation Tax liability in the year of acquisition.

Ideally there would be no tax on a gift and much succession planning is based around eliminating these taxes.
