Employee Benefit Trusts and Tax Reduction
A properly constituted company contribution into an Employee Benefit Trust can significantly reduce tax.
Typically a company will pay tax at a marginal rate of 29.75% and directors will then access dividends at a tax rate of 25% plus. Total tax cost of extracting profits is typically around 50%. Using employee benefit trust planning this cost can reduce to 13%.
