International tax support that
brings clarity across borders

I head up our International Private client department looking after our clients who have cross border aspects to their affairs. The scope of the work is wide and includes UK residents with foreign assets as well as non-UK residents with UK assets.

With over 25 years of experience, I advise on all aspects of UK tax residency and dual residency including the nuances of UK law and the application of double tax treaties.

I have extensive experience advising non domiciled individuals on the remittance basis of taxation as well as helping clients navigate the new rules which come into effect in April 2025.

As well as looking after individuals and families, I work with businesses relocating employees or setting up businesses, whether in the UK or overseas.

Whether you need advice on completing your tax return, buying an overseas property or if you are thinking about leaving the UK I can provide practical guidance to help you navigate the often complex rules.

Although the main focus of my work covers ‘international’ matters, I have a large portfolio of clients advising on all aspects of UK taxation including income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax planning. Some notable areas of my practice are:

• Domicile, remittance basis and Foreign Income and Gains regime
• US Citizens in the UK
• Pre and Post UK arrival planning
• Leaving the UK and ceasing tax residency
• Operation of UK double tax treaties including impact of dual tax residence
• International employments
• Overseas Workday Relief
• Secondments and tax efficient global mobile employee program
• Taxation of employee share awards and Long-Term Incentives
• Tax compliance including coordination of overseas filing obligations
• HMRC enquiry and correcting historic omissions
• Cross-border estate planning
• Capital gains planning and rebasing of foreign assets

I am head of HW Fisher’s corporate tax division.

I work with entrepreneurs and privately-run businesses, helping them structure their business in the most tax efficient way possible.

When working with clients, my aim is to provide sound commercial business advice, while looking to minimise the tax liabilities that they face.

I work with a variety of businesses, although my main focus is on the technology, property and retail sectors.

My specialisms include tax structuring, merger and acquisition advice, as well as due diligence and consulting advice in areas such as R&D tax relief and the Enterprise Investment Scheme.

I am also an expert at advising overseas companies that are keen to invest in the UK and have assisted countless businesses to successfully establish themselves here.

I have over 20 years’ experience in corporate tax having joined Grant Thornton as a trainee in 1997. I joined HW Fisher as a partner in 2012.
