Raising toilet to accommodate tiled floor

[rubble2]

Currently have vinyl flooring in the bathroom which is to be replaced with ceramic tiles.

Could I ask what is involved in raising the toilet pan and cistern to allow the tiling to be laid before re-fixing the toilet?

I have included a couple of pictures of the existing set up, I am unsure how to proceed with this and will probably get a plumber to carry it out but I would be interested in finding out what is involved and how it will be done.

Thanks

Remove the toilet and get an off set bend.

I take it you are placing ply on the floor then tiling.

Also cistern will have to be raised with the pan,overflow and cold feed will need extending aswell.

Or tile around the toilet
