Tronc Scheme

​

A TRONC is an arrangement for pooling and distributing tips and service charges, and the person who operates the TRONC is known as Troncmaster.  If your employees use a TRONC, you must tell us who the Troncmaster is so that we can set up a PAYE scheme for the TRONC.

 

TRONC schemes don’t just exist for tax purposes.  They are also used as a means of motivating and incentivising employees and rewarding excellent service and teamwork.  Businesses who have introduced TRONC schemes have seen a real and sustained improvement from their team who value the increase in their take-home earnings and the sense of reward from their customers.

Trusts & Estates

 

The taxation legislation applying to trusts can seem complex and many clients can be put off setting up trust arrangements because of this. However, the basic principle of a trust is very simple and can be a very powerful tool as part of succession planning and to preserve family wealth in the face of future uncertainties.

 

Our team can help you through the process of deciding what type of trust arrangement will best suit your requirements.

 

Once established we can then assist with all aspects of ongoing financial management and compliance including the preparation of accounts, filing of annual self assessment returns, dealing with distributions to beneficiaries and ultimately winding up trust arrangements that have served their purpose and are no longer required.
