Restructuring A Growing Retailer For Lower Tax
- The challenge
- A fast-growing online retailer had outgrown the structure it started with. Profits were taxed inefficiently and the owners were drawing income in the most expensive way possible.
- What we did
- We modeled several structures, recommended a reorganization and redesigned the owners’ pay and profit-extraction strategy, coordinating with the client’s lawyers on implementation.
- The result
- A cleaner group structure, a noticeably lower effective tax rate and a quarterly planning routine that keeps it that way as the business grows.
