The impact of Inheritance Tax on small business owners | Inheritance-tax.co.uk

As a small business owner, you have spent years building your company from the ground up. You have invested countless hours and money into your business, and it has become a significant part of your life. However, have you considered the impact of inheritance tax on your business? Inheritance tax is a tax levied on an estate after a person's death, and it can have a significant impact on small business owners. In this post, we will explore the impact of inheritance tax on small business owners and provide advice on how to navigate this tax.

Inheritance tax can be a significant burden on small business owners.

Small business owners are often cash-poor, and their businesses represent a significant portion of their wealth. Inheritance tax can be a significant burden on small business owners, as it requires the payment of tax on the value of the business at the time of the owner's death. This tax can be especially challenging to pay for small business owners who have little liquidity, and it can force the sale of the business to cover the tax bill. This can be a devastating outcome for small business owners who have spent years building their company and do not want to see it sold.

Planning ahead can mitigate the impact of inheritance tax on small business owners.

Planning ahead is crucial for small business owners who want to mitigate the impact of inheritance tax on their business. There are several strategies that small business owners can use to reduce their inheritance tax liability. For example, small business owners can transfer ownership of their business to family members or employees before their death, reducing the value of their estate and the amount of inheritance tax due. Additionally, small business owners can use trusts and other estate planning tools to reduce their inheritance tax liability.

Professional inheritance tax advice can help small business owners navigate the tax system.

Inheritance tax is a complex tax, and small business owners may benefit from professional inheritance tax advice UK. An inheritance tax specialist can provide small business owners with advice on how to structure their estate to reduce their tax liability. Additionally, an inheritance tax specialist can provide guidance on the use of trusts and other estate planning tools to mitigate the impact of inheritance tax on small business owners.

Business property relief can be a valuable tax break for small business owners.

Business property relief is a valuable tax break for small business owners, as it can provide relief from inheritance tax on the value of qualifying business assets. Qualifying business assets include shares in unlisted companies, and business property such as buildings and land used for the purposes of the business. Small business owners should be aware of the rules surrounding business property relief and ensure that their business qualifies for the relief.

The impact of inheritance tax on small business owners can be mitigated with life insurance.

Life insurance can be a valuable tool for small business owners looking to mitigate the impact of inheritance tax on their business. Small business owners can take out life insurance policies that pay out on their death, providing the funds necessary to pay their inheritance tax bill without having to sell their business. This can provide small business owners with peace of mind knowing that their business will not have to be sold to cover the tax bill.

Conclusion 

In conclusion, inheritance tax can have a significant impact on small business owners, but there are strategies that can be used to mitigate its impact. Planning ahead, seeking professional inheritance tax advice UK, and utilizing tax breaks such as business property relief can help small business owners reduce their tax liability. Additionally, life insurance can be a valuable tool for small business owners looking to ensure that their business is not sold to cover the tax bill. By taking proactive steps to address the impact of inheritance tax on their business, small business owners can ensure that their hard work and investment are protected for future generations.

Turbotax is blitzing Congress for the right to tax YOU

Every year, Americans spend billions on tax prep services, paying a heavily concentrated industry of giant, wildly profitable firms to send the IRS information it already has. Despite the fact that most other rich countries have a far more efficient process, many Americans believe that adopting this process here is either impossible, immoral, or both.

If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/20/turbotaxed/#counter-intuit

That puts tax preparation in the same bucket as other forms of weird American exceptionalism — like the belief that we’re too untrustworthy to have universal healthcare, or that we’re so violent that we must all have assault rifles to protect ourselves from one another.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with how they do it in, say, the UK, here’s how it works: your employer submits all of your paystubs to the tax authorities; likewise the custodians of your pension and other people who send you money. The tax authority also knows about your major deductions, like your kids or other dependents.

The tax authority uses this information to fill in a tax return for you and they mail it to you. It’s simple and easy to understand. If they missed some information, or if your tax status has changed, or if you’ve got new deductions, you can amend this return — or throw it away and start over by yourself or with a tax professional.

For the vast majority of Britons, filing their tax returns takes a few minutes once a year, and it’s free. For the minority who don’t fit the standard form, the system works like it does in the US — you either tackle it alone, or do it with professional help.

The IRS could easily do the same thing. Even in a world where many of us are being “casualized” and have income coming in as independent contractors, the IRS knows about it, thanks to the 1099 form. Sure, the IRS might make mistakes, and if you’re worried about that, you can either manually review the precompleted return or pay someone to do it.

It’s a no-brainer, or it would be — if it wasn’t for decades of lobbying by the massively concentrated tax-prep industry — wildly profitable corporate giants like HR Block and Intuit, the parent company of Turbotax, who spent 20 years lobbying congress, spending millions to ensure that Americans would have to pay the Turbotax tax in order to pay their income tax.

https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-turbotax-20-year-fight-to-stop-americans-from-filing-their-taxes-for-free

The tax-prep industry couldn’t have done this on their own — their astroturf campaigns were joined by a grassroots of useful idiots, betwetters like Grover Norquist and his acolytes, who openly demand that tax preparation be as difficult and painful as possible, to drum up support for their campaign to “get the US government down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.”

These extremists are joined by many independent tax-prep specialists, who are seemingly convinced that every taxpayer has 11 dependents, four different kinds of pension savings, and six all-cash side-hustles, two of them international. Some people do have complicated taxes — as a writer with income from all over the world, I’m one of them — but most people don’t.

The point of getting the IRS to send you pre-populated tax returns isn’t to deny you the opportunity to pay excellent, knowledgeable tax-prep specialists if you need them — it’s to spare most of us from the needless expense of paying Intuit and HR Block to perform the rote form-filling by which the rake in billions in profits.

In reality, the campaign to defund the IRS isn’t — and will never be — about helping “the little guy.” As Propublica’s IRS Files demonstrate, the defunded, shriveled IRS is a billionaire’s plaything, which is why America’s top 400 earners pay less tax than you do:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/13/taxes-are-for-the-little-people/#leona-helmsley-2022

The commonsense utility of the IRS supplying you with prepopulated returns is so obvious that the tax-prep industry has had to really work to hold it at bay. The most successful scam was Freefile, a program cooked up by the tax-prep cartel that claimed it would provide free tax-prep to low-income Americans.

Freefile was a literal fraud: Intuit and its co-monopolists used a raft of deceptive “dark patterns” to trick people — students, veterans, retirees, and the poorest among us — into paying for services that they were entitled to use for free. Almost no one managed to find and use the Freefile offerings they’d hidden in a locked filing cabinet in a disused subbasement behind a sign reading “Beward Of the Leopard.”

This was so obviously crooked that the companies were eventually forced to give it up, but they weren’t done — their eye-watering, voluminous terms of service contained buried binding arbitration clauses that prohibited the people they ripped off from suing them:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/24/uber-for-arbitration/#nibbled-to-death-by-ducks

Despite — or, more realistically, because of — the rising fury at the tax-prep industry’s years of unchecked corruption, Intuit has actually increased its lobbying spending this year: Open Secrets reports that in 2022, Intuit showered lawmakers with a record $3.5m:

https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2023/02/turbotax-parent-company-intuit-is-pouring-more-money-than-ever-into-lobbying-amid-push-for-free-government-run-tax-filing/

Their target? The $15m that the Inflation Reduction Act allocated to the Treasury Department to explore free tax filing. Intuit’s line is that this would be “a waste of taxpayer money” and a “conflict of interest” — the same tired boomer nonsense that Norquist has been shoveling since the Reagan administration. Once again, the proposal isn’t to ban Intuit from offering tax prep services — it’s to create a public option that lets people freely choose to pay for tax prep if they think they need it. It’s a breathtaking act of paternalism to claim that we’re all sheeple, too stupid to spot the IRS’s greedy attacks on our pocketbooks.

Here’s a choice quote from Intuit: “Creating a government run tax preparation program would be a waste of taxpayer dollars and further disenfranchise low income taxpayers. A direct to IRS tax prep system is a multi-billion dollar solution looking for a problem.”

https://www.businessinsider.com/turbotax-free-tax-filing-biden-inflation-reduction-act-hr-block-2023-1

Unsaid: the tax prep industry rakes in billions of dollars from American taxpayers every single year. The $44.8m the cartel has spent lobbying against free filing since 1998 is a fantastic investment — for them. The dividends they reap from it come out of all of our pockets.

Another bargain? Hiring ex-government officials to work for Intuit, lobbying their former colleagues:

https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clients/lobbyists?cycle=2022&id=D000026667&t0-Revolving+Door+Profiles=Revolving+Door+Profiles

Or, as Senator Elizabeth Warren bluntly put it, “adroit influence peddling”:

https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2022/06/members-of-congress-call-for-an-investigation-of-intuits-lobbying-practices-amid-mounting-turbotax-controversies/

The neoliberal economists’ theory of regulatory capture is a kind of helpless nihilism, grounded in the Public Choice Theory doctrine that says that regulators will always be captured, so we should just get rid of regulators or make them as weak as possible, so they won’t become cordyceps-ridden puppets of the industries they oversee:

https://doctorow.medium.com/regulatory-capture-59b2013e2526

But capture isn’t inevitable. Sure, if you have a referee that’s weaker than the teams, you’ll never get a fair game — nevermind what happens when the ref either used to work for one of the teams or is sure of a cushy job with them when the season’s over. If you want a small government, you need small corporations — need to block the anticompetitive mergers and predatory conduct that lets companies grow so large that they can fit their regulators into the little change pocket in their blue-jeans.

https://doctorow.medium.com/small-government-fd5870a9462e

Anyone who lived through witchhunts, torture and mass surveillance after 9/11 has good reason to want their government small enough to be accountable — but a doctrine of small governments and giant corporations is a plutocrat’s charter — a recipe for regulatory capture so grotesque it is indistinguishable from farce.

[weird-and-unwell]

So I'm in a very privilleged position despite being on benefits. But I need people in the UK to understand that if I were not disabled, and purely living on the basic rate of UC, I'd be fucked.

I live alone with two cats.

My food bill averages £80-£120 a month. (I eat a lot of dried beans and cheap grains.)

My cats food and litter averages £80-£100 a month. (I use the cheapest litter but they have more specialist foods. I've tried cheaper foods, didn't work out.)

My bills come to roughly £370 a month.

I do also have netflix and pay for cat flea treatment, equalling £22 a month.

And the basic rate of UC for me is £393.

So you may spot a problem.

If I pay all my bills I have £1 for food for myself and my cats.

If I say no to netflix and cat flea treatment, I'm up to £24 a month.

I could get my council tax removed, but I've done that before and it gets shitty once you reinstate it (I was paying 50% extra a month!!) But say I do. Cool I now have a bit under £150 for myself and my cats.

If on my own I'd manage, with roughly £30-£70 left. It'd be tight, yes, but just barely managable as a single person.

But my cats come first, because they are small creatures dependent on me. So in reality I have some £50-£70 max for food.

I could do it. It'd suck but I could do it.

But then once I was able to pay council tax again I would end up with the same nonsense as last time - a sudden massive increase in bills. I still don't understand how it works rip but there we go.

Anyways the point is, this is a "just barely doable" situation from someone who is in fact in a privilleged position. I have family who can help me out (to an extent), I'm in stable housing. But without my disability benefits even I would struggle significantly.

(We'll discuss disability benefits another time lol.)

Navigating the IT Jobs Market Within London

While new opportunities and prospects may seem exciting and enticing, charting a path for vacant IT jobs in London and the surrounding territory, while trying to find both work and living demands a strategic and planned approach and partnering with perhaps a specialist IT recruitment agency.

The city is amassed with major tech giants and conglomerates, including social media favourites like Google and Facebook, along with new budding, smart technology startups spanning sectors in finance, media, education, insurance healthcare, and governance bodies. Opting for available vacancies within London means finding, and embracing this vibrant city alive with diverse culture, leisure, and amenities. For many budding IT jobs in London seekers within the local surrounding areas, this work-life change can serve as the ideal career path and living opportunity, providing a wealth of available opportunities.

IT individuals seeking fresh horizons, and a more than lively social life, then the capital city stands as a brilliant and realistic, give-us-a-try vibe, to progress your chosen career path. Exploring and matching your preferred IT role and embarking on a successful job search for IT jobs in London, the hunt can sometimes entail the services of an IT recruitment agency and their team of consultants, by ideally aligning your professional interests, experience, and skills with available and suitable roles.

Try to diversify your search resources –using relevant social and digital platforms and contacting multiple IT recruiters can offer a big opportunity boost. Do not commit to the first interested agency you come across, engage proactively with several and gauge their responses both in time and clarity, along with your related search aspirations, and test their responsiveness to your skill sets and experience.

Not a British or dual nationality citizen!  You do and will need to acquire a UK Work Visa: If you are an international jobseeker, then possessing a valid UK work visa or permit is paramount. A significant portion of London businesses and companies, as well as other UK major cities, employ IT workers that hail from overseas.

Your recruitment agency should be able to discuss, advise, and offer guidance on work application requirements. Check, and bear in mind any potential fees and other various requirements that need to be attended to, such as tax and health insurance, etc., based on your country of work and also your home country's tax or, earnings-related implications.

Accommodation: While an IT recruitment agency might be able to offer assistance and advice, the onus of finding accommodation lies with you. Several search platforms and agents can assist in this quest. Additionally, weigh the different pros and cons of transportation, living costs, and entertainment. Driving in the city may prove difficult and very challenging both in cost and time, but in general public transportation offers a reliable and viable alternative, at a cost.

Selecting accommodation that fits your budget, might mean a certain amount of travel time is involved, so be aware and prudent in any financial decision you make. Working in London not only provides a chance to work with smart and new cutting-edge technology but also offers a cosmopolitan lifestyle, brimming with cultural, entertainment, and social experiences.

Identifying job roles: Begin by pinpointing an IT recruitment agency that is aware and aligns with your understanding of the type of work requirements you seek. Check their expertise, and what they can offer and bring to your professional career trajectory. Though social media platforms can be of assistance, when looking for IT jobs in London, it's prudent to diversify your search. Remember, every agency promises to provide a unique job search experience and proactive perspective; finding the one that ideally resonates with your requirements is important and paramount.

If you're in the UK I recommend:

Fabworks for all sorts of wools and linens (plus other natural fibres and blends)

Herts specialist fabrics for wools, linens and silks in an array of historically appropriate colours (they supply costumers and reenactors but it's all great for 'modern' clothes as well, and their wool is some of the most affordable I've found for the quality)

John Hanna Irish Linen for gorgeous quality linen. Their white Sperrin (117gsm) is my absolute favourite linen for lightweight shirts, though the Glenarm (149gsm) isn't as transparent lol. (just watch out for the import tax that gets added during checkout)

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

[mmbaaccountants]

Based on important things, the important question must ask by investors to ask in conversation with a tax professional, on which how much experience they have. The experience of the Uk Crypto tax advisor and other relevant question that is crucial to ask early in conversation on how much experience they have.

Tackling Accounting Challenges in the Construction Industry: Solutions for Medium-Sized Businesses

Introduction For medium-sized construction companies, managing financial operations is no small feat. The construction industry presents unique accounting challenges—complex job costing, fluctuating cash flows, and changing tax regulations. Without efficient accounting practices, businesses risk project delays, profit leakage, and even compliance penalties. Construction companies must ensure accurate financial management to stay competitive.

This post explores the most pressing accounting challenges faced by construction firms and provides actionable solutions to help businesses streamline operations, improve cash flow management, and stay tax-compliant. By addressing these challenges effectively, medium-sized construction companies can enhance profitability and position themselves for sustainable growth.

1. Managing Job Costing for Multiple Projects

One of the biggest challenges construction companies face is tracking job costs accurately. With labor, equipment, materials, and subcontractor expenses spread across multiple projects, maintaining a clear picture of project profitability is essential. Poor job costing can lead to underbidding, budget overruns, and profit loss.

Solutions for Effective Job Costing:

Use Construction Accounting Software: Platforms like QBO, Xero or Odoo allow firms to allocate costs to specific jobs, monitor project budgets in real-time, and generate profitability reports.

Implement Time-Tracking Tools: Accurate tracking of labor hours ensures projects stay on budget. Time-tracking apps like ClockShark sync directly with accounting systems.

Review Job Costs Regularly: Conducting frequent project reviews helps identify discrepancies early and ensures budgets remain on track.

According to McKinsey & Company, 35% of construction projects exceed budgets due to poor cost management. Automated tools not only save time but also minimize costly human errors.

2. Cash Flow Management in Construction Projects

Construction projects often require upfront investments, and delays in client payments can create cash flow bottlenecks. Managing cash flow becomes even more challenging when firms operate on long payment cycles or encounter unexpected costs, such as weather delays or supply chain disruptions.

Strategies to Improve Cash Flow:

Negotiate Payment Milestones: Structuring contracts with payment milestones linked to project completion phases ensures steady cash inflows.

Implement Retention Tracking: Retention payments withheld by clients must be monitored to ensure timely collection after project completion.

Establish a Contingency Fund: Having a reserve fund allows businesses to handle unforeseen expenses without impacting operations.

A survey by PwC reveals that 67% of construction businesses cite cash flow as their top financial challenge. Forecasting tools and proactive payment management help mitigate these risks.

3. Navigating Construction Tax Regulations

Construction companies must navigate industry-specific tax regulations, which vary across regions. From VAT in the UK to sales tax in the USA, tracking tax liabilities can be cumbersome. Additionally, construction businesses often need to manage reverse charge mechanisms or apply for tax exemptions based on project type.

How to Simplify Tax Compliance:

Outsource Tax Compliance to Specialists: Hiring tax consultants ensures compliance with regional laws and helps companies benefit from available deductions.

Use Automated Tax Software: Tools like Avalara or TaxJar calculate and file taxes accurately, reducing the risk of penalties.

Understand Regional Tax Incentives: The Australian government offers incentives for sustainable building projects, while the UK provides VAT relief for specific construction activities. Firms should leverage such incentives to reduce tax liabilities.

Non-compliance can lead to significant fines. In 2023, construction firms in the UK faced penalties exceeding £50 million due to errors in VAT reporting, highlighting the importance of accurate tax management.

4. Accurate Revenue Recognition for Construction Contracts

The construction industry requires firms to recognize revenue according to the percentage of completion method or completed contract method, depending on the project. Misaligned revenue recognition can distort financial statements, leading to incorrect profit projections and tax miscalculations.

Tips for Accurate Revenue Recognition:

Use the Percentage of Completion Method for Long-Term Projects: This method recognizes revenue based on the project’s progress, giving a more accurate picture of financial performance.

Align Financial and Project Management Systems: Integrating accounting software with project management tools ensures revenue recognition matches project milestones.

Work with Experienced Accountants: Construction accountants understand industry-specific standards, such as ASC 606 and IFRS 15, and can ensure compliance.

A report by Deloitte notes that 60% of construction firms struggle with revenue recognition, leading to misreported financial performance. Automating this process minimizes the risk of errors.

5. Technology Integration in Construction Accounting

The integration of technology in construction accounting helps businesses automate repetitive tasks, improve accuracy, and generate real-time financial insights. Construction companies are increasingly adopting cloud-based tools to streamline operations and enhance collaboration between project managers, accountants, and site supervisors.

Technological Solutions for Efficient Accounting:

Adopt Cloud Accounting Software: Platforms like Xero or QuickBooks Online enable real-time access to financial data and support remote collaboration.

Use AI-powered Bookkeeping Solutions: Artificial intelligence can automate expense categorization, invoice processing, and bank reconciliation, freeing up time for strategic tasks.

Leverage Data Analytics: Construction companies can use analytics tools to track project performance, monitor KPIs, and forecast financial outcomes.

A study by KPMG found that construction firms using integrated digital solutions report 30% fewer accounting errors, underscoring the importance of technology in modern financial management.

Conclusion

Accounting for construction companies requires specialized knowledge, tools, and strategies to overcome industry-specific challenges. Managing job costing, improving cash flow, navigating tax compliance, and ensuring accurate revenue recognition are essential for sustainable growth.

By adopting construction accounting software, automating tax processes, and leveraging technological solutions, medium-sized construction businesses can streamline financial operations and enhance profitability.

I am an accidental US citizen! I was born there AND my dad is American so I am obliged even though I haven't been to the States since I was 2 months old and not seen my dad since I was 5.

How it works is: annually you have to fill in FBAR forms (what you have in your ""foreign"" bank accounts including any joint accounts), what you have in capital/funds in the US if anything, what you have over here. What your partner earns and has in accounts if they are also US citizens, what tax you paid in your residence country... Then there is also another form but I can't remember the name right now.

It is really shittily convoluted as well so you are better off hiring someone to do it for you so you don't accidentally fuck up. Americans Overseas have specialist accountants/agents to do this.

You do not have to pay the US tax under certain thresholds and conditions. I did not meet threshold and I do not have any capital or earnings in the US. Rich Man McJohnson on the other hand potentially did.

Only way out of this stupid annual paperwork obligation is to renounce citizenship. This costs around $2500 and you have to file paperwork for that too. Then there is a special exit form for the IRS so they don't come looking when they realise you have stopped doing it.

There is still currently an amnesty on outstanding FBARS and Tax paperwork so if you haven't been doing it as I hadn't, you can get in touch with Americans Overseas (they're brilliant quite honestly) and they will help do the streamlined 5 year tax return thing. Then you are caught up.

In the UK there is roughly a 10month waiting list for renunciation at the US embassy so when you are doing the streamlined stuff make sure you apply for an appointment too so you don't have a gap to fill afterwards.

Feel free to DM me for anymore info, fellow Americans abroad. (though I am not anymore 🙌)

Is it true that the US demands you pay US taxes on money you earned in non-US countries if you're a US citizen? (Or am I wrong to believe you're a dual citizen?)

I'm not a US Citizen, but that's my understanding, yes. The IRS taxes US citizens wherever they live in the world on whatever income they have. It's why some people give up their citizenship...
