Tax consultancy that supports stronger commercial outcomes
Transactional tax decisions influence value, timing and the shape of future opportunities. We work with clients across the full deal journey, from set up and funding through to growth and exit, providing clear, informed guidance that supports commercial goals and avoids unnecessary risk.
Transactional tax at Gravita
Transactional tax decisions shape value before, during and after a deal. At Gravita, we help clients structure transactions with clarity and foresight, whether they are setting up a new venture, scaling and raising capital, or planning an exit. Our focus is on understanding the commercial goal and giving practical, informed guidance that supports it.
We work closely with founders, management teams and investors to identify the tax implications at each stage of the journey. From shareholdings and incentives to funding, reorganisations and disposals, we support clients in making decisions that protect value, reduce risk and support long term outcomes. Our advice is grounded in technical expertise and real-world experience.
Why Gravita?
You get direct access to senior transactional tax specialists who work closely with you, rather than being passed down to a junior team, so advice is always informed, responsive and commercially grounded
Our advisers look beyond the immediate tax point to consider valuation, timing, funding, shareholder goals and future exit options, helping you make decisions that hold up commercially, not just technically
We work as one team across tax, advisory and accounting, giving you consistent guidance throughout the transaction, so structuring decisions are aligned and nothing is missed
