Introduction to Taxation

Taxing Questions

Most of us face being taxed on our income, our capital gains, and in some circumstances the value of our estate when we die.

Taxation can be very complicated and the rules, reliefs and allowances often change, so it is worth obtaining a clear grasp of how these taxes work by discussing with a professional adviser the most efficient way to arrange your finances.

An expert will be able to help you plan your taxes in advance, and come up with effective strategies that will use the lawful reliefs and allowances to minimise the amount you have to pay.

By understanding how taxation works, you should be better prepared to manage your finances and you could save money in the long run.

One thing can be said for all forms of tax: if you do nothing, it is highly likely that you will end up paying more to the Government than you actually need to do.

Client Testimonials

  • Crandles & Co fully implemented our Company Pension Scheme at Scottish Cycling in 2012. Our staff found the appointments and communication extremely professional. The pension scheme requires constant management and the administration service provided is also superb. From implementation to the end result I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul and Caroline to other companies and sports associations looking to implement pension schemes to satisfy the new Workplace Pensions regulations ahead.

    Craig Burn, CEO, Scottish Cycling

  • I’ve been providing Mortgage advice to my clients for several years now and over time, it became apparent that many of them would benefit from independent financial advice too. I was recommended Caroline Cochrane. I trust Caroline to look after my clients’ best interests and I am confident she’s really listening to what they want. I also find Crandles & Co are efficient in their work practices and they always keep me informed about what they’re doing. This has created a good business relationship between us, to the extent that I’m happy to refer my family members to them.

    Linda Grier, Moneycheck Linlithgow

  • It is over 25 years since Caroline first advised me on financial matters. Her professionalism has been of the highest calibre, as she has always endeavoured to provide sound and appropriate advice relevant to my circumstances at the time. I have no hesitation in discussing all financial decisions with Caroline and am happy to be guided by her, trusting not only in her expert knowledge, but also in her dedication to providing the best possible service for me, as her client.

    Sandy Johnstone

  • Paul Crandles has been my Financial Adviser for over 4 years. In that time I have come to trust Crandles & Co implicitly. Any questions I have regarding my investments are answered and explained in depth and Paul never fails to make time in which to do this. I cannot imagine going elsewhere and am more than satisfied with the investments made on my behalf by Crandles & Co. The company is truly professional, always accessible and has very high standards of conduct. I have no qualms whatsoever in highly recommending them for any investment or financial advice. I am an Extremely Satisfied Client.

    Stephanie M. Grossmann

  • Paul and Caroline are consummate professionals who I count on to give my clients financial and investment advice tailored to their individual circumstances and needs. They are approachable, honest and ensure that my clients are kept in the picture every step of the way. I have no hesitations recommending Paul and Caroline to clients, colleagues and even, recently, family. A friendly, caring Company that put clients first and deliver on their promises.
