The LifeTax Blog

Welcome to the LifeTax Blog.  The blog covers tax issues that are of relevance to life assurance companies.  The aim of the blog is to provide a one stop shop for technical bits and pieces that are spread across primary and secondary legislation, the LAM and HMRC’s website.  Additionally there will be some coverage of other taxation issues that are relevant to life assurance companies, particularly those that relate to assets that insurance companies will invest in.

What I’m hoping to get out of the blog initially is a raised profile for Bentley Forbes Consulting and a handy data base of work that might be applicable to more than one client.  My intention is to add two items a week to the blog for a year – then I’ll take a look at the level of traffic and see if it’s worthwhile carrying on.  Long term I’d like to raise some revenue from the blog but for year one at least it will be free to access and free of advertising.

I’ll make every effort to ensure that anything going on the blog is correct but the items on the blog are not technical advice and neither Bentley Forbes Consulting nor I are responsible for any errors or omissions in the free of charge material.

I’m very keen for other people to add items to the blog; if you have anything that you would like to go on LifeTax Blog then please email me at richard.bentley@bentleyforbesconsulting.co.uk.  As you’ll appreciate I can’t pay anything for items initially but I’ll ensure that if are any revenues at any time that these are divided amongst all contributors on a fair basis.

Comments and feedback on the blog are priceless.
