Overview

We act for corporate clients on all aspects of their strategic transformational transactions. We also act for providers of warranty and indemnity and other tax risk insurance in relation to risk assessment and policy cover/drafting, which in turn provides us with sector insight to assist corporate clients in relation to their insurance requirements. 

We give clear, practical advice that helps our clients to achieve their strategic objectives. We provide structuring and tax planning advice, using our deep knowledge to provide creative solutions, as well as taking care of the documentary side of implementation, including tax-related opinions and disclosure materials.    

Our team is multinational and provides clients with collaborative and seamless tax support to cross-border transactions and issues.

BCLP’s tax team is both technically excellent and commercially intelligent. They understand the context and commercial realities which drive transactions and are able to apply their advice in a way that fits that context.

A capital blow for deducting management expenses

The Supreme Court confirmed in Centrica Overseas Holdings Ltd v HMRC that the tests for trading and management expenses of a capital nature are the same. The decision also confirms that once a company has decided in principle to dispose of a capital asset, any professional fees incurred afterwards in pursuance of that sale are likely to be capital and not deductible under CTA 2009 s 1219, even if a purchaser for that asset has not yet been identified and a specific sale transaction has not yet been agreed.
