#Business Property Relief (BPR)Background

#BPR BackgroundHistory of bprIntroduced by Finance Act 1976.Designed to prevent a business having to be sold to pay IHT.Provided as a statutory relief, it offers non-contentious tax savings.Relief available at up to 100%, depending on asset.Increasingly used as a wealth management solution.

#BPR BackgroundTHE THREE PILLARS OF ESTATE PLANNING

#BPR BackgroundKEY BENEFITS Access and control retained.No complex trust structures or medical underwriting.FLEXIBILITYSIMPLICITYCan accommodate a change in circumstances.AVAILABILITYTIMELINESSIHT benefits are achieved after just two years and if held on death.

#Mental capacity Powers of attorney

#BPR planning ideasPowers of Attorney - Restrictions on the ability to make giftsSection 12, MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 - SCOPE OF LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY, GIFTS

(1) Where a lasting power of attorney confers authority to make decisions about P's property and affairs, it does not authorise a donee (or, if more than one, any of them) to dispose of the donor's property by making gifts except to the extent permitted by subsection (2).(2) The donee may make gifts(a) on customary occasions to persons (including himself) who are related to or connected with the donor, or(b) to any charity to whom the donor made or might have been expected to make gifts, if the value of each such gift is not unreasonable having regard to all the circumstances and, in particular, the size of the donor's estate. (3) Customary occasion means(a) the occasion or anniversary of a birth, a marriage or the formation of a civil partnership, or(b) any other occasion on which presents are customarily given within families or among friends or associates.(4) Subsection (2) is subject to any conditions or restrictions in the instrument.

#BPR planning ideasPowers of Attorney HOW BPR CAN HELPNo need to make a gift / create a trust.Assets are registered in the name of the donor.The donor retains full access to the investment, together with the proceeds.No need to involve the Court of Protection.Saving time and money.Freedom from IHT after just two years.

#EXIT PLANNING FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

#BPR planning ideasEXIT PLANNING FOR BUSINESS OWNERSRESTORING BPR ON THE SALE OF A BUSINESSOn sale, the proceeds will be in the estate of the client as BPR shelter is lost.BPR can be restored immediately by investing the proceeds in to BPR qualifying assets within three years, buying time to consider options and allowing significant amounts to be transferred into trust without lifetime IHT charges.

#BPR planning ideasEXIT PLANNING FOR BUSINESS OWNERSBUSINESS SALE DUE TO ILL HEALTHWhat if the client is forced to sell a BPR qualifying business as a result of a terminal or critical illness? The illness may significantly reduce life expectancy. While sale may qualify for Entrepreneurs Relief, any gains will be taxed at 10%*.An investment into an EIS offers a potential solution given it attracts BPR qualifying status after two years.*Assumes sale qualifies for Entrepreneurs Relief at 10%.**Subject to meeting qualifying criteria.***Income tax relief of up to 300,000 could also be claimed.Without EISWith EIS***Gain on sale of business1,000,0001,000,000CGT payable immediately*100,000NilProceeds net of CGT900,0001,000,000IHT arising on death360,000Nil**Balance passing to beneficiaries540,0001,000,000

#DESIGNING A CLIENT RECOMMENDATION

#Designing a client recommendationOverview of client objectivesFreedom from IHT in the near termTypically seeking capital preservationA desire to balance the need for access with the opportunity to achieve a real returnFlexibility to accommodate a change in circumstancesThe ability to access capital, either as a lump sum or a regular income

#Designing a client recommendationBalancing risk with the need for investment returnsMany clients will be risk averseDiversification at an asset level can help manage specific riskConsider spreading the investment across a number of providersImportant to achieve a blend of liquidity options in order to allow the required level of access whilst also providing the potential for returns.

#Designing a client recommendationConsiderations when assessing a clients need for ACCESSNot all clients will have the same need for accessArranging a suitable contingency fund remove the need to redeem investments at least in the short termA diversified portfolio can offer a range of access optionsHigh level of access can impact on potential returnsMany clients who request higher levels of access rarely utilise it.

#Designing a client recommendationStructuring the investmentImmediate:Review accumulation or income optionsNeed to consider the clients tax positionDetermine frequency of any withdrawalsShould the application be in joint or single names

Future:Consider how the clients circumstance may change over timeWill this necessitate rebalancing a clients portfolio?What are the costs and tax implications of making changes?

Last in, first out policy for investors. 70% of the project's investment is underwritten by UK Creative Industry Tax Credits and/or pre sale agreements, Allenbridge describing the company as Low Risk. Stand-alone EIS projects.Also a number of our SEIS projects that have chosen to raise more than their 150k limit and thus morph into an EIS investment opportunity.


Goldfinch Entertainment 8OUR PRODUCTS

Insurance Backed EIS Goldfinch Completion and Goldfinch Distribution The FT Adviser even went as far to say Could films present the next EIS solution? (FT Adviser 17.11.14).70% of the invested amount is insured through a specialist media insurer direct with the Producer, and with investors claiming their 30% income tax relief on top of this investor's capital risk can be effectively reduced to zero.The return for investors is estimated at 125% over three years, excluding tax relief.

OUR PRODUCTSGoldfinch Entertainment A Golden Opportunity to Invest in Film & Media


SEIS companies can raise up to 150k with generous income tax, capital gains and inheritance tax relief for investors as in the summary below. We have a wide range of SEIS projects covering all the entertainment sectors, many genres, and a varying returns for investors.All projects are chosen for their commercial promise and tangible end product; we do not create SEIS companies that are merely black holes and development funds. Goldfinchs wide range of SEIS companies means that there is not only something for all tastes, but that investors risk can be spread across many of them in a portfolio style approach.Our SEIS companies either provide the full finance for smaller budget productions, or can be a part of a jigsaw of finance put together for a project that can include various soft money sources and private investors.


Goldfinch Entertainment 11OUR PRODUCTSSEIS

As stated above our range of SEIS companies lends itself to a portfolio approach for investors or IFAs, however for those wishing to benefit from this approach but executed and managed by an experienced fund manager can now invest in our Goldfinch SEIS Fund managed by Kin Capital.The main benefit of this as with normal SEIS investment is the 50% income tax relief and other tax benefits although the fund delivers this with a diverse portfolio of entertainment sector businesses. Other key features of our fund include:Strong investment pipeline (adviser funded 34 SEIS projects in 2014)Low investment minimum & costs relative to other SEIS FundsRetail investors return of capital prioritised over other investorsIt should also be noted that the fund will be allotting shares throughout the current tax year. It is therefore possible to invest and offset the income tax benefits against the 2014/15 tax year through the use of SEIS carry back. More information on how this is possible is available here on the gov.uk website; www.gov.uk/seed-enterprise-investment-scheme-background.For more information on Kin Capital visit their website at www.kincapital.co.uk.
