Rayney's Tax Planning for Owner-Managed Companies provides authoritative and clearly written guidance on all aspects of tax planning that impact on the operation of OMBs in the UK from running the business in a tax-efficient way to succession planning.

The commentary is updated in line with all the key announcements in Finance Act 2025, recent relevant case decisions, and new guidance issued by HMRC.

The guidance draws heavily on the many years of experience Peter Rayney has had, advising companies of various sizes on their tax strategies. It is backed up with the inclusion of numerous worked examples to illustrate the practical and commercial implications of a range of typical situations.

As well as looking at the structure and operation of the company and an overview of appropriate tax strategy, the book deals with the planning strategies that might be applied at various stages of the business life cycle, including remuneration strategies, benefits and expenses, share issues, company reorganisations, selling the company and succession planning. Planning checklists are included at the end of all relevant chapters.
