Estate planning and all it's diversities is also part of what we do.

Areas of expertise

We have worked on some of the largest revenue audits in the country including clients in Revenue’s large cases division, which encompassed aspects of income tax, corporation tax, VAT and PAYE. Negotiating settlements to the satisfaction of all parties involved on various topics including residence, allowable deductions, and voluntary disclosures, of high net worth individuals. UK and US residence issues now form part of tax planning for those who travel and our experience in this area is well known.    

We have also researched and delivered solutions on tax planning for major international music tours and sports people, engineers and executives  moving around the world in the course of their profession  and advised on the various aspects of residence, withholding tax, and double taxation treaty implications.
