#175 - Tax Talks - The ABC's of Alphabet Shares

Welcome back to another episode of Tax Talks!

I sat down again with the brilliant Tej Gill, who’s not just a top-tier tax advisor but also someone who knows what he’s talking about when it comes to corporate structuring and financial planning. We delved deeply into a topic that many business owners have heard about but don’t always fully understand: Alphabet Shares.

Don’t worry - we didn’t just throw jargon around. We started right at the beginning, breaking down what a share is - from voting rights to dividends and capital rights - before getting into how Alphabet Shares work and why they can be such a powerful tool in your financial toolkit.

Tej explained how Alphabet Shares can give you more control and flexibility in your company, whether it’s about who receives what dividends, how decisions are made, or how ownership is divided. They’ve been around for a while, but they’re still one of the smartest ways to structure your business for tax efficiency, especially when thinking long-term or planning for the next generation.

We talked about practical, real-world scenarios - like how you might use Alphabet shares when setting up a company with your family, or if you're planning to pass on wealth to your kids without handing them the full keys to the castle (and without giving half of it to HMRC in the process).

Whether you're brand new to Alphabet Shares or you've heard about them and want to know how they actually work in practice, this episode's for you. I learned a lot from Tej, and I think you will too.
