This is the first episode in a mini series we have crateively called the Pay Less Tax Mini Series. The next few eps will focus on tax efficient structuring of your business, how to get the basics right (or the Greatest Hits as Alan likes to call them) and then some next level ideas once you have the basics nailed. (or Deep Cuts, if you are Alan)
This started as a 2 parter, which is what you will hear us refer to it as, but we realised making the next ep that a mini series is better to do this important topic justice. Any Q's of future topics, email us at pod@bwbtb.co.uk
