Aurora – let us enlighten you!
There once was a little girl who travelled the world to far flung places with her military family. Whilst she was still quite young she made sense of her ever changing world with her love of problems... Today that same girl now runs Aurora Tax Planners. Her love of problem solving has evolved into a career with figures, helping businesses and individuals reduce their tax liabilities. With over 20 years of expertise in tax and trusts, Sue and her team, working closely with accountants, bring you simple, legitimate ways you or I can ease our tax burden. Both individual and corporate clients are finding Aurora’s Tax specialist service highly valuable. Property investors, in particular, facing significant capital gains tax are typical clients. If you are planning to sell your portfolio, like holiday homes, investment properties or inherited property, then Aurora could help you. Aurora is especially helpful when planning for the future; ensuring your loved ones receive the most value possible from your estate. There’s no one size fits all in tax planning
and this is where Aurora really excel, with their bespoke service tailored especially to you and your requirements. MD Sue Armstrong likens it to a trip to the Doctor. “If you feel ill and need to visit the doctor, they may need to refer you to a specialist in a particular field; this is the same with tax planning. You take your books to the accountant, and the accountant may refer you on to Aurora for specialist tax planning, enabling you to structure your income or assets for a more tax efficient outcome”. Help can start right at the beginning whether you are a Limited Company or a Sole Trader, an initial meeting with Aurora to discuss some of the tax implications could help plan for future p a y m e n t s producing a much more e f f e c t i v e return.

Many of their clients come via this route, having been referred on from their advisors, to consider the benefits available in making them more tax efficient.
