An updated version of the Tax Insight on Family Investment Companies published in 2019. Written by an acknowledged expert in this field, Deborah Clark of Mills and Reeve, this publication explores what makes a company a FIC, considers how a company works and the potential ways to make them more bespoke.

A Family Investment Company (FIC) is a bespoke vehicle which can be used as an alternative to a family trust. It is a private company whose shareholders are family members. A FIC enables parents to retain control over assets whilst accumulating wealth in a tax efficient manner and facilitating future succession planning.

Different structures are explained and their benefits and disadvantages highlighted. The commentary is bought up to to date with the new corporation tax rates and dividend tax rates introduced since the previous edition was published. It also reflects the author's continued practical experience in dealing with clients in this area.
