- Estates | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP
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. 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

- Our History | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP
To understand the Firm’s core values today and how they became inculcated into its DNA, one has to look back to its origins in 1933 and all that has happened since. OUR HISTORY To understand the Firm’s core values today and how they became inculcated into its DNA, one has to look back to its origins in 1933 and all that has happened since. The Firm has been shaped not just by events themselves but by the choices made in response to those events by the rich tapestry of individuals who have served the Firm as partners over the years. Rawlinson & Hunter is rather unusual as an accountancy Firm dedicated largely to services to private clients, many of whom have been as unusual, eccentric and exceptional as the partners of the Firm. The Firm’s rather individual history, from the early careers of its two founding partners up to the start of the first Coronavirus lockdown, has been recorded in detail in a private publication authored by partner Andrew Shilling, ‘Rawlinson & Hunter 1919-2019 – Taking the Road Less Travelled’. If you would like a copy, let us know. In the meantime, we hope that you find this interesting as historical background to the Firm. The Firm was established in London in 1933 by Alfred Rawlinson and Robert Hunter. They were chalk and cheese. Hunter, who was a forceful and assertive character and a first class tennis player, dealt with the administration of the Firm and took most of the decisions, while Rawlinson was a quiet, gentle and unassuming personality who took no exercise as a result of injuries sustained in the 1914-18 war. Yet they found that they could work together very well and the practice flourished. In the early days of the practice, the Firm dealt with a combination of international corporate work for cases such as Nestlé together with a smattering of personal tax cases. In 1934, Felix Chivers, who had won the tax prize in the Institute’s exams, was recruited to the Firm. He became a partner in 1941 and served as partner for 30 years. It was Chivers, rather than Rawlinson or Hunter, who was responsible for the Firm’s orientation towards private client work for wealthy individuals. He began to advise in depth on Estate Duty and attracted many influential new clients to the Firm. This type of work led him to become involved in family trusts and trust work, which became an important part of the Firm’s service offering, as it remains today. He was by all accounts a real character who was very closely and intimately concerned with the affairs of his clients. On one occasion he was left babysitting a client’s young child and on another, he was responsible for arranging the repatriation from abroad of the body of a deceased client. The Firm offers a ‘partner-led’ service, and Chivers was perhaps the first proponent for this style of client relationship. During the Second World War, working conditions in London became difficult. Hunter recounts; ‘We had hardly any staff left, and those we had were all arriving late or leaving early because of the threat of bombing. So I set out to find a refuge outside of London, and found an old house, Masons Farm, with 13 rooms in a small beautiful village in Oxfordshire. My family were installed there and the rest of the house was used as our offices.’ We consider this to be an early example of working from home, 80 years ahead of its time. A few members of staff continued to work in the Firm’s office in Aldwych, which survived intact in spite of damage caused by a V-1 flying bomb attack on 30 June 1944. As the Firm emerged from WWII, it began to look beyond Britain’s shores for business opportunities. A client asked the Firm to deal with the accounting affairs for his hotel in Bermuda. Work permits were obtained to enable staff to spend all year there, which led to the establishment of the Bermuda office in 1963. The partners continued to look for expansion opportunities and future senior partner, Peter Hetherington, spearheaded the establishment of the Jersey office in 1972 after his biggest client moved there to escape Chancellor Roy Jenkins’ imposition of a 136% tax rate on investment income exceeding £15,000 (the highest tax rate in British history!). The Jersey office left the network in 2025. The Firm’s entrepreneurial spirit was demonstrated with the opening of offices in Cayman, BVI, Guernsey, Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia and, in 2013, in Singapore. This brought a significant number of international clients to the Firm and many of the London Firm’s clients to this day are individuals with overseas aspects to their tax affairs. Partners are encouraged to develop clients in sectors where they have a personal specialism or interest, and the Firm currently has a number of clients in the art world, motor sport and private equity, to name but a few. Rawlinson & Hunter is a Firm which is rich in history, a history which has shaped not just what we do but the core values which we apply in doing it. We are all, partners and staff, proud of the Firm, its independence, our clients and the quality of the service which we offer.

- SDLT Advice | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP
When considering UK property transactions, stamp duty land tax (“SDLT”) can be a very significant cost component - up to 17% where high value residential properties are involved. SDLT ADVICE When considering UK property transactions, stamp duty land tax (“SDLT”) can be a very significant cost component - up to 19% where high value residential properties are involved. Furthermore the SDLT rules have become progressively more complex in recent years, with the introduction of the 5% surcharge on additional residential properties, the 17% flat rate of SDLT for purchases of residential property by companies, and the 2% surcharge for purchases of residential property by non-resident buyers. Our experienced team of SDLT advisers can help to guide clients and their solicitors through these complexities whilst negotiating the notoriously broadly drafted SDLT anti-avoidance provisions, and ensure that they pay no more SDLT than they are legally required to. We have abundant experience in providing detailed SDLT advice and practical guidance to clients and their advisers on complex transactions including multiple completions, multiple purchasers, mixed residential and non-residential purchases, and a variety of substantial residential and commercial lease transactions. Our work includes ensuring that the purchase is structured in a tax efficient manner so that clients are in the best position to claim any SDLT reliefs or allowances that are available based on their specific circumstances. It also includes providing detailed SDLT advice about a proposed transaction, reviewing draft SDLT returns prepared by the client’s solicitors to ensure they correctly reflect our advice, preparing and submitting any claims that may be required to HMRC, and providing advice about minimising the risk of future SDLT enquiries by HMRC.

- Non-resident Trusts | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP
Trusts can play an important role in the disposition, preservation and succession of a family’s wealth. For international families with a UK footprint, there will normally be a preference for a wealth holding structure situated and administered abroad. NON-RESIDENT TRUSTS Trusts can play an important role in the disposition, preservation and succession of a family’s wealth. For international families with a UK footprint, there will normally be a preference for a wealth holding structure situated and administered abroad. The Firm provides trustee services outside the UK through its network of overseas offices. A trustee is often a key figure in the lives of family members and occupies a position of great trust, a role which can only be performed by someone who is fully acquainted with the family’s circumstances and objectives and with whom the beneficiaries of the trust feel able to communicate freely. In our international partners, we have highly experienced individuals in several jurisdictions who, working closely with us and with our clients, provide fiduciary services and administer trust structures with empathy and expertise. Our international partners are based in Guernsey, Switzerland, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Cayman, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. All have a deep understanding of trust law and trust administration. The tax treatment of UK resident settlors and beneficiaries of non-resident trusts is complicated to say the least. There are many challenges for trustees in properly considering the UK tax consequences of normal trustee actions such as making investments, meeting expenditure and making distributions and loans to UK resident beneficiaries. Trustees also need to ensure that their beneficiaries are adequately advised, and that they receive accurate and timely reporting information to complete their tax returns. This is where our team of specialist tax advisers can provide support. Through collaboration between the London and overseas offices, we provide a joined up suite of services in relation to non-resident trusts and companies. This includes advising on the potential benefits of trust arrangements in the client’s specific circumstances, calculating and monitoring trust tax pools in order to ascertain the tax treatment of benefits received by beneficiaries, constructing investment guidelines and account structures for tax efficiency, liaising with tax professionals in other countries and advising on all UK tax reporting for the trustees, the settlor and the beneficiaries. Trusts are not appropriate for all international clients and we would only recommend them where they offer a solution. All trusts are different and great care is required to ensure that their terms meet the requirements of the clients and their families, and that the tax consequences are fully considered.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY As a leader in the accountancy world, we are committed to ethical and sustainable business practices, and we recognise that we have a social responsibility to our employees, clients, communities and the environment. Some of our community support activities are detailed here. Pro-bono work We typically donate in excess of £200,000 of pro bono services per annum to good causes including charities, education providers and hospitals. And it is not just the giving of time and expertise. Through our Give as you earn scheme, staff can make regular donations to causes they care about, straight from their pay. Support in the community We help support up-and-coming artists by displaying their works at our London office, and by holding an annual reception for potential buyers, clients and the artists, who are on-hand to present their works. The works are curated by the Ingram Collection , which supports emerging artists through its Young Contemporary Talent Programme. Rawlinson & Hunter is delighted to sponsor one of the highlights of this programme – the annual Purchase Prize exhibition. One of our core values is a Commitment to Our Communities. As part of this, we have volunteering groups in our London and Leatherhead offices run at a local level by staff, supported by the Partners. Each year, staff can spend a day taking part in a team-based volunteering activity supporting a local charity Charitable fundraising Over the years, staff and Partners have raised tens of thousands of pounds for a variety of good causes and charities. Currently, the Firm is supporting two charities. The Royal Marsden is the staff nominated charity, and Artis is the charity that the Partners have chosen. Throughout the year, fundraising activities are held to support each of the charities from sponsored walks to bake sales. The Firm will often match donations raised by staff, ensuring each of the charities can do that little bit more. Sustainability We are committed to sustainability and have introduced a number of initiatives including: All waste separated and recycled where possible Electricity supplied from renewable sources Motion activated lighting in both offices VRF air conditioning incorporating a heat recovery system 100% fresh air system Paperless working Cycle-to-work scheme Car benefit scheme to lease a new electric car Gender Pay Gap report We are committed to equality of opportunity for all members of staff and are proud that this is reflected positively in our Gender Pay Gap report . Our mean gender pay gap figures are below the national averages reported by the ONS and this is partly due to more women than men working in senior roles within the Firm.
- Tax Investigations | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP
HMRC has been reorganised with the objective of maximising its ability to close the ‘tax gap’. As part of this, taxpayers with significant wealth or complexity have been corralled into tax offices serviced by the Wealthy Team, the focus of which is to identify cases for enquiry. TAX INVESTIGATIONS HMRC has been reorganised with the objective of maximising its ability to close the ‘tax gap’. As part of this, taxpayers with significant wealth or complexity have been corralled into tax offices serviced by the Wealthy Team, the focus of which is to identify cases for enquiry. Many of our private clients are serviced by these specialist tax offices and we are therefore used to dealing with them on a daily basis. Our experience is that HMRC personnel are better trained than ever before and better equipped to detect irregularities or grey areas in a taxpayer’s tax return. They also have a wealth of information from third parties, both in the UK and abroad, against which they can cross-check the accuracy of a return and identify potential omissions. Tax enquiries are a fact of life for clients with complex affairs, both private individuals and companies. Most of these enquiries are not random, but are selected carefully by the HMRC officer because there are aspects of a submitted tax return which warrant further scrutiny and might result in an increased tax liability. Sometimes, the tone of HMRC enquiry letters can seem accusatory or threatening, and can be a source of worry to clients who regard themselves as diligent and honest in their tax affairs. At Rawlinson & Hunter we recognise the emotional stress which a tax enquiry can place on a client, as well as the disruption to personal and business life which can result. Our experience allows us to demystify HMRC correspondence and explain the issues at stake in a clear and precise manner. We represent our clients in correspondence, calls and meetings with HMRC with the objective of bringing the enquiry to a successful conclusion as soon as possible. Sometimes, new clients come to us because irregularities have been identified in their tax affairs, either by them or by HMRC in the course of an enquiry. We are experienced in making a full disclosure to HMRC, presenting the strongest technical interpretation and negotiating with them to reduce any tax geared penalty to the statutory minimum allowed under the law.

Many of our private clients are also avid collectors and we advise them regularly on transactional practicalities. We provide intelligent, well thought out and practical advice on the financial aspects of art transactions. Our unrivalled experience in advising on complex issues, often involving a number of jurisdictions with their associated tax implications, has given us a unique understanding of the requirements of those at the business end of the art world, as well as collectors. Our services for clients typically cover the structuring of trusts and other holding vehicles for the acquisition and long term ownership of art, along with IT support for the creation and maintenance of complex art (and other asset) databases for businesses and also individual collectors.

Our experience has shown that having an in-depth knowledge of the UK and EU VAT rules relating to art, and an understanding of our clients’ affairs, assists in tailoring transactions to meet the needs of each client.

We believe that the best way to provide our clients, both private clients and companies, with effective support is to act for them in relation to their tax reporting. This gives us an insight into what they are doing from year to year and a detailed understanding of their business and financial affairs. TAX ADVICE Our clients frequently need advice on tax matters. It is crucial that when there are events in clients’ lives, whether it is a corporate transaction, a change in family circumstances, a move from one country to another or some other situation, whether planned or unexpected, they have the right people with the right expertise to support them. We believe that the best way to provide our clients, both private clients and companies, with effective support is to act for them in relation to their tax reporting. This gives us an insight into what they are doing from year to year and a detailed understanding of their business and financial affairs. Most of our clients at some point need to call upon our expertise and our familiarity with their affairs to provide effective and timely tax advice. The knowledge gleaned from a relationship with our clients built over many years enables us to advise with authority when the need arises. Often, clients come to us in the first place because they are involved in a situation or a set of circumstances where specialist guidance is needed. Having concluded this initial project, clients then often remain with us for many years, taking advantage of both the tax reporting and advisory services which we can offer. Our approach to the giving of both personal and corporate tax advice is measured. We recognise that the tax legislation was enacted for a specific purpose, and in giving advice we consider carefully the reasoning behind the tax law which we seek to rely on. We avoid overly aggressive planning which, in our experience, is invariably challenged by HMRC and defeated in the Courts. We have regard to our clients’ profile with HMRC and keep the advice on the sensible side of the line. Our international network of offices probably has a greater concentration of international private client expertise than any other firm. Our reputation has brought us family and corporate clients in every continent, almost entirely by personal recommendation. Our Specialists

As well as in London, Rawlinson & Hunter has offices in Jersey, Guernsey, Switzerland (in both Geneva and Zurich), Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. INTERNATIONAL As well as in London, Rawlinson & Hunter has offices in Guernsey, Switzerland (in both Geneva and Zurich), Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. The maze of UK and international law is complex to navigate, particularly for clients with profiles in a number of jurisdictions. Our grouping of offices can provide global advice and solutions, specialising in the administration of trusts and companies which hold wealth and assets for our clients and their families. Since 1933, Rawlinson & Hunter offices across the world have consistently applied the basic traits of common sense and hard work to everything they do in order to provide outstanding services to their corporate and private clients, combining advanced technical skills with their different, distinctive and personal way of working. The partners in all international offices like to get to know their clients well and they lead much of the work in person, often face-to-face. Nearly all clients come through personal recommendations and referrals, providing compelling evidence of Rawlinson & Hunter’s strong reputation as a leading professional services firm. Refer to Legal for further information regarding Rawlinson & Hunter International. Visit International Site Development of Our International Grouping The Chartered Accountancy firm of Rawlinson & Hunter was established in London in 1933 during The Great Depression by Alfred Rawlinson and Robert Hunter. The Firm has flourished by continually updating and refreshing its services to meet the challenges of evolving tax, financial and regulatory laws, by focusing on niche markets, and by putting client service first and foremost in everything it does.. After successfully navigating the challenges faced by the UK during the Second World War, including temporarily moving the Firm to rural Oxfordshire to escape The Blitz, Hunter journeyed to the US in 1945, and again in 1946 with Rawlinson, where they visited an old client living in Bermuda. This coincided with the first direct flights between the US and Bermuda and the introduction of a favourable tax system and tourist economy on the island. The visit ultimately led to the establishment of Rawlinson & Hunter’s first overseas office in Bermuda in the early 1960s by future UK senior partner Bob Spooner, as the Firm sought to support its UK clients with extensive tourism and hotel interests there. A chance encounter on an aeroplane between future UK senior partner Peter Hetherington and a Jersey accountant resulted in the foundation of the Firm’s Jersey office in 1972. This was at a time when many individuals were emigrating from the UK to Jersey to escape the all-time high UK income tax rate of 136% in the late 1960s, and 98% in the early 1970s. The Firm’s Jersey practice was established at a time when the island was growing rapidly as an international financial centre. The Jersey office left the network in 2025. The Guernsey office was established in 1980 to meet the needs of specific international clients of the Firm, taking advantage of Guernsey’s similarly thriving financial services industry. More than 40 years on, the Guernsey firm continues to grow. The Cayman Islands office was established in 1973, originally to complement the services offered to clients through the Bermuda office. This British Overseas Territory steadily developed to become a leading international financial centre in the region. Switzerland has always been the leading international financial centre in continental Europe, and during its early years Rawlinson & Hunter had served many Swiss-based corporate clients due to Robert Hunter’s frequent trips to the country. To support its Swiss-based clients, the Firm therefore opened an office in Geneva in 1982, and this was eventually followed by a Zürich office in 2011. The old Geneva office left the grouping in 2019 but the Firm is now once again operating in Geneva, having opened a new office there in 2021. By the 1980s, the British Virgin Islands had also developed into a leading international financial and tourism centre to fund its public services, and this led to Peter Hetherington and future Jersey senior partner, David Goar, establishing the Firm’s office on the islands in 1988 to supports clients engaged in business there. A year earlier, in 1987, the Firm opened a representative office in Sydney, Australia to support clients with business interests Down Under. This was carried out under the umbrella of a respected Australian firm, Boroughs, a similarly private client focused firm of Chartered Accountants established in 1945. A decade and a half later, in 2003, the Firm extended this model by opening a representative office on the other side of the Ditch in Whanganui, New Zealand. By now Singapore had established itself as the leading international financial centre in Asia, and the Firm found itself with increasing numbers of clients with business interests in the country. To support these clients, the Firm opened its first Asian office in Singapore in 2013.

- Wealth Succession | Rawlinson & Hunter LLP
We provide advice to support clients transferring wealth to younger family members by establishing a plan to ensure that wealth is passed on in accordance with their wishes. WEALTH SUCCESSION At Rawlinson & Hunter, we understand that the transfer of wealth from one generation to another is more than a financial transaction – it is an emotional and personal decision. We provide thoughtful advice to support clients in approaching this topic with younger family members and establishing a plan to ensure that their wealth is passed on in accordance with their objectives, with clarity of messaging, tax-efficiency, and accountability by the recipient. With an ever increasing number choosing to transfer wealth while they are still alive, passing on wealth during one’s lifetime is a proactive approach to financial planning. This allows wealth-holders to witness the impact of their support, provide timely assistance to family members, and potentially reduce the size of their taxable estate. We understand that each client’s circumstances are unique. Whether they are planning for future generations, supporting philanthropic causes, or navigating complex family dynamics, we provide tailored advice that aligns with the client’s values and long-term goals. Conversations around money, inheritance, and future responsibilities can be emotionally charged. Addressing these issues directly, though sometimes challenging, is essential to ensuring that wealth is transferred in a way that reflects the intentions of the client. Often this will involve supporting families in developing governance structures and educating the next generation on financial stewardship to ensure they feel empowered to take on the commitments that come alongside the wealth. Our Partners work closely with clients to develop comprehensive strategies that address both the financial and emotional aspects of wealth succession, often working as part of multi-disciplinary professional teams. We can assist with establishing and administering structures such as trusts to provide control, flexibility, and protection for future generations, meaning our clients can have confidence that their beneficiaries are well supported and engaged in their role of future wealth preservation. With a growing number of internationally mobile families, understanding the nuances of cross-border succession is fundamental to any strategy. As a firm with offices around the world, Rawlinson & Hunter is well positioned to advise clients on the international considerations of intergenerational wealth transfer.
