Divorce and separation are life-altering transitions that can take a significant mental, emotional, and financial toll on clients. Divorce lawyers do not need to be tax experts, but they need to understand what questions they should ask about tax and when to ask them. This ensures that both the settlements are as tax efficient as possible and also that the pitfalls are avoided.
This online classroom, led by barrister, Jennifer Lee, and forensic accountant, Roger Isaacs, offers a practical and insightful overview of key tax considerations that can significantly influence the outcome of divorce proceedings. You’ll gain a clear understanding of the fundamentals of income tax, capital gains tax, and corporation tax as they relate to family law, along with the tax implications of transferring or selling the family home. The session will also cover the latest updates on private residence relief and their impact on property transfers. Finally, you’ll explore how to handle business assets in a tax-efficient way and discover strategies for structuring settlements that safeguard your clients’ financial interests.
Whether you’re a family lawyer seeking to deepen your understanding of tax implications in divorce and financial settlements or simply curious to know more, come along and have the opportunity to ask questions most relevant to your practice. Book your place now!
