Tax Planning

in Dundee & Tayside

What do we mean by “tax planning”?

Tax planning isn’t about loopholes or dodgy schemes. It’s about making use of legitimate allowances, reliefs and structures that may be available and ensuring your finances, investments and estate planning are organised properly.

A regulated adviser may consider tax efficiency when advising on:
• how you save and invest
• pensions and retirement planning
• inheritance and estate planning coordination
• ownership structures and family arrangements
• business owner planning (where relevant)

The right approach depends entirely on your personal circumstances.

Services Include

Tax planning is about keeping more of what you build legally and sensibly and making sure your financial and family plans don’t create avoidable surprises later.

MML can introduce you to FCA-regulated advice through Ali Tod at Scott Fyffe Wealth Management Ltd, helping you explore tax-efficient options as part of a wider financial plan.

Common areas people ask about (Plain English)

Clients often look for help with tax-efficient planning around:

• ISAs and investment wrappers
Using available allowances to shelter growth where appropriate.

• Pensions and retirement contributions
Pensions can have tax advantages, but suitability and access rules matter.

• Capital gains considerations
When selling assets or restructuring investments, tax can be a factor.

• Inheritance planning themes
How your estate is structured can affect what your family keeps and what goes to tax.

• Business-owner planning
Company structures, succession planning and exit planning often carry tax implications.

Important: what is “right” is not universal it must be assessed properly.

MML Law / MML Wealth does not provide tax advice or regulated financial advice. Where appropriate, we introduce clients to Ali Tod at Scott Fyffe Wealth Management Ltd for FCA-regulated advice. You may also be advised to seek specialist tax advice depending on your circumstances.

No. Tax efficiency matters at many levels especially when planning for retirement, investing over time, or thinking about what you leave behind. The key is suitability and getting proper advice.

It can. How assets are owned and structured can impact inheritance outcomes. A regulated adviser can consider the financial side, while MML Law supports the legal side (wills, executries, Powers of Attorney).

Why MML?

Tax considerations often sit beside legal decisions: wills, Powers of Attorney, property ownership, family arrangements, trusts, and business succession.

With MML:
• We help you clarify the goal (protecting wealth, passing it on, planning for later life)
• We introduce you to Ali Tod at Scott Fyffe Wealth Management Ltd for FCA-regulated financial advice
• MML Law can support the legal work that often underpins good planning
• Everything is handled professionally, discreetly, and in plain English

This is joined-up planning not fragmented advice.

Many people only think about tax when it’s too late usually during an executry, or when a family is already under pressure. Planning ahead can reduce stress, avoid disputes, and create clarity around what happens next.

If you’re reviewing:
• your will
• your property ownership
• how assets are held
• how your pension and investments are set up
…then it’s the right time to consider the tax angle too, as part of a wider plan.

Introduction to regulated advice
Where appropriate, we introduce you to Scott Fyffe Wealth Management for FCA-regulated advice that considers tax efficiency as part of overall planning.

Joined-up implementation
If legal work is required (wills/POA/estate planning/property), MML Law can support that side.

Usually not. Life changes property, children, business, retirement plans so a good plan is reviewed over time to stay appropriate.
