For business owners, the way assets are structured before a sale can significantly affect Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax exposure and long-term retirement outcomes. Effective planning focuses on timing, tax efficiency and how sale proceeds will be deployed after exit. - [SIPP, ISA or Limited Company? The Smart Pension Strategy for High Earners Who Work for Themselves](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/self-employed-high-earners/): Self-employed high earners can build a highly tax-efficient retirement strategy by combining a SIPP, ISA and structured limited company planning. SIPPs provide tax relief and long-term investment growth, ISAs provide flexible tax-free access, and employer pension contributions from a company improve corporation tax efficiency. Used together, they create a structured and resilient long-term financial planning framework. - [Tax-Efficient Ownership of UK and Overseas Holiday Homes: How can I structure second properties to minimise CGT, IHT and Rental tax exposure](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/tax-efficient-ownership-holiday-homes/): But the challenge is that holiday homes sit inside a surprisingly complex tax environment. They are not just "nice assets". They can fall under multiple regimes at once, depending on how they are used, where they are located, and how long you keep them. The key is not to over-engineer ownership, but to understand the rules early enough that decisions remain optional, not forced. - [Milestone Newsletter Spring 2026](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/milestone-newsletter-spring-2026/): Download PDF version - [How to Manage Your Property Portfolio Into Retirement to Fund Income](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/manage-property-portfolio-into-retirement/): A well-structured property portfolio can form a significant part of a high-net-worth retirement strategy, helping you manage your property portfolio into retirement in a way that delivers sustainable income through rental yields and planned property sales. When combined with the State Pension and private pensions, it allows us to help you to model and plan your retirement income with greater clarity. This guide explains how to structure it properly. - [Planning For Long-term Care: Costs, Deprivation of Assets and What Can be Done](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/long-term-care-planning-uk/): Long-term care planning in the UK is means-tested, with current thresholds of £23,250 (upper) and £14,250 (lower) determining eligibility for support, subject to change. Assets, income, pensions, and property may all be assessed, meaning most individuals self-fund for a period. Early long-term care planning helps clarify funding options, deprivation of assets rules, and solutions such as immediate needs annuities. - [Milestone Newsletter Winter 2025](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/milestone-newsletter-winter-2025/): Download PDF version - [Harriet Lunn](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/harriet-lunn/): I joined Milestone in August 2025 as a trainee paraplanner, having worked in financial services for 4 years. - [Callum Smith](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/callum-smith/): As an adviser at Milestone, I work closely with clients to understand their aspirations, analyse their current position, and build tailored financial plans that support their long-term goals.

The strategy for a high-earning self-employed individual is not the same as the strategy for an employee. It requires knowledge not just of pensions but also of company structures, tax interactions, sequencing risk, cash flow planning, and long-term investment philosophy. A well-designed pension strategy does not simply prepare you for retirement. It gives you the freedom to make decisions now without fearing their long-term consequences. - [Should I put my money in stocks or Investment Funds](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/stocks-or-investment-funds/): If you’re reading this and wanting to know more about Stocks or Investment Funds, please reach out to one of the advisers at Milestone.

What happens if your child divorces one day? The thought can feel intrusive, even unwelcome, but it is a reality that many families confront quietly. Multigenerational family wealth is delicate, and without planning, a single divorce can erode decades of careful financial structuring. It is not about pessimism; it is about preparation. Can you afford to ignore the potential impact on your family’s assets? - [The psychology of spending and saving: why behavioural biases cost you money](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/the-psychology-of-spending-and-saving/): The information provided in this article/guide is for general information only and does not constitute personal advice.

However, politics still loomed large with a likely election in the next 12 months prompting calls for tax cuts from within the Conservative party. Until recently the Chancellor had attempted to stall such demands with warnings of “difficult decisions” on the public finances owing to a worsened fiscal outlook since his Spring Budget. One reason that he highlighted for the deterioration was the sharply increased cost of government borrowing. - [Milestone Newsletter Autumn 2023](https://www.milestonefp.co.uk/milestone-newsletter-autumn-2023/): Welcome to our 2023 Autumn Newsletter.
