The UK firm’s US personal tax specialism is overseen by the London based US/UK High Net Worth team. Outside of the US the US/UK High Net Worth team comprises by far the largest team of US personal tax professionals of any of the big four firms including over 45 US personal tax specialists all of whom have the ability to advise on and co-ordinate the impact of the US tax system with foreign tax regimes. Every member of the group currently holds or is in training to obtain a US professional tax qualification.

The team provides a proactive and holistic personalised tax service to its clients, offering high quality US tax planning advice whilst always considering the local e.g. UK tax implications.

Our client base consists of individuals with US tax issues to consider be they US citizens/Green card holders, non-residents with US investments or those considering moving to or making investments in the US. Our typical clients include High Net Worth Individuals, Fund Executives, Entrepreneurs and Law firm partners.

We concentrate our services in four main areas of specialism:

• US High Net Worth Individuals

Law firms

Law firms are dealing with an ever-increasing amount of international complexity as they expand and consolidate at a global level. This greater complexity exposes the firm, its partners and its employees to a risk of paying too much or too little tax, or failing to meet a filing or reporting obligation somewhere in the world.

• individual US and UK tax compliance for partners and employees
• partner compensation and profit distribution planning
• firm payroll and withholding obligations related to mobile employees
• short-term business visitor reporting in the UK; remittance basis and bank account structuring for non-domiciled individuals
• international social security
• global mobility policies
• residence and tax treaty questions
