Following the introduction of substantial new tax legislation, the tax consequences of investments made recently, or possibly many years ago, has come under a very public spotlight.

We have worked with these new rules since they came into effect on 6th April 2013 and can confidently advise on the precise tax consequences of your activities both within and outside the UK.

An investigation by HMRC can become an expensive distraction from managing your everyday financial affairs. Our aim is to resolve matters quickly and secure the best results for you. We look closely at HMRC’s concerns and our expertise allows us to manage the enquiry and shape the most cost-effective outcome for you, including agreeing beneficial settlement terms with HMRC.
A thorough understanding of your needs, objectives and future plans is the starting point for any advice that we give you. Flexibility is uppermost in our planning; what works today may not be appropriate in years to come as your personal circumstances change.
We will keep your tax planning strategy under review so that it can be adapted to suit these changing circumstances, as well as the ever-changing basis for UK tax legislation.
