TAX COMPLIANCE It is absolutely essential, now more so than ever, that individuals and companies with complex tax affairs file accurate annual tax returns with HMRC. The cost of getting it wrong has never been higher. Many of our clients have complicated tax-reporting needs. Some of them have significant and diverse investment assets both in the UK and overseas, sometimes held through foreign investment structures which are not set up for UK tax reporting. Other clients have complex remuneration reporting involving options, vesting share arrangements and restricted stock units where there might be international considerations. Many of our clients are entrepreneurs with businesses which also bring intricate tax filing challenges. Just as tax reporting has become more demanding, there has been a much closer concentration of effort by HMRC on the tax affairs of wealthy UK tax payers and their companies. HMRC’s investigative capabilities have been greatly enhanced by the volume of information provided to them by both institutions in the UK and by other countries under automatic exchange of information agreements. At the same time, the tax law has been changed to give HMRC a greater length of time to investigate foreign aspects of a taxpayer’s affairs and impose significantly greater penalties for reporting failures. Thoroughness and a rigorous approach are therefore paramount in the preparation of our clients’ tax returns. We generally operate a ‘triple-lock’ approach whereby the tax return is prepared by a professionally qualified junior, reviewed carefully by a manager and is then subjected to a final high level review by the partner. In that way, we seek to reduce the risk of inaccuracies and omissions. Our Specialists

EMPLOYMENT TAXES Employing people in the UK carries with it a host of real time PAYE tax compliance and reporting obligations, as well as liability to National Insurance contributions. It is a considerable and time-consuming responsibility requiring a sound knowledge of complex payroll, taxation and employment legislation. Great care is required to ensure that requirements are met. We have a dedicated payroll team which can undertake this work for you and give you peace of mind. In particular, we can administer PAYE schemes and deal with parental leave, sick pay, Apprenticeship Levy and student loan repayment. Depending on your preference, we can arrange payments to your staff through a client account, as well as payments of tax and National Insurance to HMRC. We can deal with benefits and expenses reporting and advise on bonuses, ex-gratia payments and termination packages. We can also provide support with HMRC PAYE audits. This is all relatively routine, but it needs to be dealt with accurately and with efficiency. Beyond this basic but essential offering, another area where we have considerable experience is with employee share schemes. Many of our entrepreneurial clients look to retain key employees through share incentives and we are able to advise on the options available in each situation and design and implement share schemes which align with their business strategy and objectives. This would include the agreement of share valuations with HMRC, where needed. We can also review, monitor and revise existing share plans to improve the commercial and tax effects in response to changes in business profile and legislation. Many of the Firm’s clients are entrepreneurs with businesses which employ people. Some of our clients have an international profile and move between countries frequently, or have employees who are internationally mobile. It is therefore important that we can deal with secondments overseas and into the UK, with all of the attendant consequences. We have a specialist tax team which advises in this area, with a particular emphasis on residence status, tax equalisation arrangements, overseas workday relief and ensuring that remuneration, including share incentives such as restricted stock units, is correctly allocated to different work periods so that the same remuneration is not taxed in two countries. We can advise on and put into operation reliefs against PAYE earnings where a portion of income is protected by a tax treaty or is only taxable on the remittance basis. It is also essential to ensure that an employee is not subject to the social security regime of more than one country. All of this is complex and requires familiarity with the operation of Double Taxation Agreements and social security agreements, so that the timing of any relief or exemptions due can be accelerated. Keeping on top of all of the challenges which employers and their employees face can be a daunting task, but our specialists have the skills and experience necessary to provide clear advice and professional support in these areas.

US TAXES Several years ago we created our own team of ‘dualhandlers’ with the necessary technical expertise to deal with both UK and US tax filings. Led by two partners, the team has flourished and has a strong presence in the Firm’s overall private client offering, representing our clients with both HMRC (as agents) and the IRS (as enrolled agents). We now deal with many clients with UK and US, or just US, tax exposure. While many of them are US citizens or Green Card holders living in the UK, we also deal with US individuals living in third countries, US based individuals with international assets and non-US individuals who have a US tax footprint because they have US situated property or receive US income. Getting the tax filing correct in both countries is the first step. If we are dealing with a US individual who is resident in the UK, the priority is to ensure that the tax payable across the two jurisdictions is not higher than it needs to be. This requires our team to have an enhanced understanding of the remittance basis of taxation where the client is not domiciled in the UK, and full familiarity with the operation of the UK/US Double Tax Treaty. Another crucial point is to ensure that available tax credits are created at the right time, utilised in the right direction and not wasted. We can also deal with other US tax reporting, including Foreign Bank Account Reporting and the reporting of trust interests. But the compliance work is really just the tip of the iceberg. Pre-planning is highly recommended since there are so many mismatches of tax treatment in areas such as investment products and vehicles, charitable donations and the timing of income and gain recognition (to name but a few) which can increase the global tax burden for such clients, unless care is taken. We can also advise on UK and US anti-avoidance provisions, the interaction between US Estate and Gift Tax and UK Inheritance Tax, the treatment of trust interests in both jurisdictions, the tax treatment of pensions and the classification of business entities to list just a few of the areas of expertise which we have.

TRANSACTION SUPPORT We act for publicly quoted and private companies, as well as entrepreneurs and shareholders, to offer an extensive range of transactional and advisory services. Successful businesses are constantly growing, changing and expanding, whether organically or by acquisition. Our bespoke approach provides timely and succinct reports to directors, shareholders and finance providers and has given us a reputation for delivering real value at a cost effective price. We offer comprehensive advice on how to structure transactions tax efficiently, such as acquisitions, disposals, restructuring, mergers, demergers, reconstructions and IPOs. We also have a great deal of expertise in obtaining clearance from HM Revenue & Customs for transactions where appropriate. Buying and selling a business or part of a business can prove a huge distraction to the investors, targets and the management team. This tension inevitably distracts focus from the day to day operations. Our multi-disciplinary team of experienced partners and staff can ease some of this burden while ensuring that a calm eye is kept on the financial and commercial opportunities which these changes inevitably bring. The areas where we typically might provide support include transaction advice and support, acquisition and disposal related tax and VAT advice, pre-disposal health checks, financial and tax due diligence (for vendor or buyer), exit route planning for investors, management buy-outs and buy-ins, key employee retention and incentivisation and succession planning. Our approach to all transactional due diligence work is to ensure that our partners and senior staff fully participate in the project, ensuring that our subsequent advice focuses on the key issues that we see facing the transaction and is provided by those with sufficient experience to give such advice.

ESTATES Estate planning requires a detailed appreciation of our clients’ financial and personal circumstances. Our emphasis on client relationships places us in a position to provide support in this critical area. Regular reviews of the estate and detailed illustrative calculations of potential liabilities keep our clients aware of opportunities available to them, while our international focus allows us to advise clients with assets in multiple jurisdictions. Regular discussions with the client and the client’s family keep us apprised of their wishes as they develop and enable us to act in their best interests and ensure that their Wills reflect their wishes and are tax efficient. For UK connected clients, the Inheritance Tax regime provides excellent opportunities to plan estates and protect family wealth through the use of lifetime gifts, trusts, family limited partnerships and family investment companies. Where there is a US angle, we can advise on the interaction between UK Inheritance Tax and US Estate and Gift Tax. Our partners are also experienced in acting as executors, either through a personal appointment or through the Firm’s trust corporation, and either alone or with family members or lawyers. At a difficult time for the family, our role is to ensure that the estate is administered with efficiency and discretion. With our existing detailed knowledge of our clients’ financial affairs, we are well placed to identify the assets falling within the estate, liquidate them where necessary and distribute the estate to the beneficiaries in accordance with the Will. We have all the necessary experience to deal with the administration of the estate, from the initial application for probate to the final distribution. The close relationships we build up with our clients mean that we can deal effectively with any sensitive family issues that arise. Our Specialists
