Across years, not one decision at a timeThe tax position of a large estate is not optimised year by year. A decision taken to save money today can cost ten times more at succession. We reason over the full horizon, and we accept paying more in one year if the total is better for it.
Tax base, deductible liabilities, non-deductible debts between relatives, capping by reference to income, exempt business assets. The cap is the most poorly used lever.
Arbitrage between pay, dividends and flows up to a holding; effect on social levies, the high-income surcharge and social rights.
