INTERNATIONAL TAX
Our world is shrinking. Advances in transport and technology mean distance and borders are becoming less and less relevant, and in many ways, it’s never been easier to relocate or expand your business overseas.
Get In Touch
Effective international tax planning is, regrettably, not quite so easy. In fact, with ever-evolving tax guidelines it’s as important as ever to get things right from the start and understand where you stand.
HELPING YOU GROW IN A SHRINKING WORLD
From established multinationals, businesses looking to move to the UK for the first time, growing UK businesses starting their first overseas venture, to individuals looking to move abroad – our international tax advisors work with businesses and people just like you.
We’ll simplify the process, overcome any challenges and make the most of all your international tax planning opportunities together.
We’re a founding member of ATLAST* an entrepreneurial-minded, fresh, global market disruptor group, that brings together the best of the best advisory firms. We can assemble cross-border teams with knowledge and skillsets tailored to your location and your needs.
Our international tax team will help you
Save money
Our in-depth knowledge of tax systems around the world means we’ll be able to identify and take advantage of tax saving opportunities. That might include claiming any double tax relief or international structuring advice to help you claim generous tax reliefs such as Research & Development (R&D) tax credits or Capital Allowances.
Stay compliant
In addition to our in-house tax team, our international networks mean we can offer global coverage of any tax legislation rules and changes that matter to you. Whether you’re coming to the UK or moving overseas, we’ll support you with your day-to-day accounting as well as your year-end process. And we can help you to prepare for any enquiries from the tax authorities, liaising with them and bringing them to an acceptable conclusion on your behalf.
Look after your expats
Whether you or your people are travelling for permanent employment or for a secondment, to or from the UK, we’ll talk you through the ins and outs of Expatriate Tax. Then, we’ll help you to decide which approach is best for you.
TAKE OFF WITH OUR TAX GEEKS
We think you’ll notice something different about our tax geeks. We’re always looking at the bigger picture, analysing and advising you on every detail of your international tax planning strategy.
What we offer is less of a service, and more of a partnership. We always keep things personable, and we communicate consistently with all our clients – not just at year-end or other important dates.
We’re all sat together, and you’ll always have one consistent point of contact. For you, that’s great for continuity, and for us, it’s a great way for us to learn more and get to know your business inside out. That’s when our tax geeks really shine, and that’s when you’ll find out why they’re award-winners.
OUR SERVICES INCLUDE
Transfer pricing
We’ll help you to suitably price, benchmark, document and support your transactions in a consistent, easily understood way. We’ll also advise and assist you in establishing internal review processes that ensure you won’t fall foul of any rules, face any transfer pricing tax adjustments, or any penalties.
Overseas expansion
We help businesses understand the tax implications of their international expansion. We support your growth and use our global network of connections to make sure you’re meeting the tax obligations of your chosen destination planning out and structuring your expansion to minimise any tax leakage and ensure you’re operating in the most tax efficient way possible.
Setting up in the UK
If you’re not familiar with the UK’s tax system, laws and regulations – it might feel like a risk. However, with some effective planning and expert advice, it can quickly become an exciting opportunity. We know the UK’s laws and regulations inside out. And we’ll work with you to structure your UK business in the most efficient way possible.

Reviews
BSAP, JUNE 25
“Great communication.”
“Wonderful."
LAURA, JUNE 25
“Although the service we have received has been extremely good, there has been long delays in partner reviews.”
“We're sorry you've experienced some delays - let's work together in future to relieve these issues."
GARETH, JUNE 25
“Great relationship with Audit Partner and Audit Manager which means resolutions are reached quickly on difficult and complex issues. The accounts are put together in an efficient and well presented manner. The audit team generally adopt a logical and pragmatic approach. Only real negatives were that Kennedy audit was a more a drawn out process than perhaps it needed to be. Reconciling the consolidated accounts back to the Cooper Parry calcs was complex and there were some small discrepancies. As discussed with the Audit Partner I do have some concerns on the level of fees.”
“Thanks for the feedback Gareth - we'll reach out again directly to address your concerns."
AATAP, JUNE 25
“Great conference, helpful team and super service. Thank you.”
“Brilliant to hear."
CHERILYN, JUNE 25
“The account were turned around quickly, and we were kept up to date with the progress of the audit”
“Brilliant to hear."
LUCIE, MAY 25
“Easy communication, always get back to me promptly, provide advice when needed, like the Inflo system very user friendly.”
“Fabulous Lucie, thank you."
HAYLEY, MAY 25
“The recent external audit and financial statement preparation were executed with professionalism and thoroughness. The auditor team demonstrated strong technical expertise and diligence, ensuring the process was both comprehensive and transparent. Their approach to testing, particularly in collaboration with the ASCL PD team during the first week, was highly effective and contributed to a smooth progression of the audit work, especially given its proximity to the annual conference. One area of improvement would be the timeline planning. The current schedule presents significant pressure in ensuring all necessary work is completed within tight deadlines. We have already discussed the potential benefits of moving some of the audit activities forward and setting clear dates in advance. Proactively scheduling key milestones would allow for better resource allocation and smoother execution. Another area of improvement would be the team working with their internal colleagues to check the partial VAT and advise on the changes to make for the next financial year. Additionally, the format and content of the audit findings report received positive feedback from elected officers. Its clarity and structure enabled effective review and discussion, reinforcing its value in financial oversight. Overall, the service provided was impressive, and the auditors’ commitment to delivering a high-quality review is appreciated. With a few refinements to planning and scheduling, the process could become even more efficient in future audits.”
“What valuable, detailed feedback - most appreciated."
PAULINE, MAY 25
“Great team, fit well into our office, professional approach whilst both friendly and very supportive. Pleasure to work with.”
“We love working with you too."
MARION, MAY 25

“Great feedback, thanks for taking the time to respond."
EDWARD, MAY 25
“Just very easy to deal with, all very relaxing to be honest!”
“'Relaxing' is such an amazing compliment! Thanks"
