How a joined-up review of structure, reliefs and personal tax could work.

A hypothetical example of the kind of work Singletree may do with owner-managed creative and professional services firms.

Illustrative scenario — not an actual client engagement or guaranteed result. Any figures shown are hypothetical.

Joined-up

Corporate & personal tax review

Reliefs

Potential where eligibility is supported

Compliant

All work within HMRC guidance

The challenge

In this scenario two founder-directors carry significant personal tax exposure, the studio has not assessed R&D eligibility on its tooling work, and the corporate structure has not been reviewed for some time.

Our approach

  • 01Example approach: review shareholdings and dividend policy in light of current legislation.
  • 02Assess eligibility for R&D claims under the merged scheme and support any compliant filings.
  • 03Consider pension and EMI options for the senior team where appropriate.
  • 04Build personal tax plans for both founders alongside the corporate review.
