More companies are looking to move or expand their operations abroad to improve their market position and/or to take advantage of foreign tax rates and/or regulations.

Where goods, services, finances or intangibles are supplied between companies under common control, transfer pricing legislation requires the arm’s length value for such transactions to be used in working out those companies’ corporation tax liabilities, both in the UK and overseas.
Our transfer pricing experts will ensure your business is compliant with UK and overseas transfer pricing legislation. We’ll advise you on:
There may be many reasons why it would be an advantage to restructure your business. It may be to protect certain business activities or to divide business assets so shareholders can take responsibility for different parts of the business or so part of it can be sold.
Company restructuring is fraught with tax issues and this can often be a deterrent. With careful planning, however, the commercial advantages of reorganising business activities or shareholdings can be achieved with little or no tax impact. We’ll explain the reliefs available for your potential restructure and if you go ahead, deal with the HMRC tax clearance procedure.
Tax plays an important role in any transaction and can have a significant impact on the deal. Our team of multi-disciplinary tax specialists focus on the most tax-effective structure for a transaction and for future tax arrangements.
Working closely with the Corporate Finance team, our corporate tax consultants support you at every stage of the deal cycle. Our expertise and experience add real value to any transaction and include:
Under the Criminal Finances Act 2017, a business failing to prevent an associated person from facilitating tax evasion will have committed a Corporate Criminal Offence (CCO). An ‘associated person’ is anyone performing services for or on behalf of the business, such as an agent, intermediary, subcontractor or employee.
This means your business could be liable for an employee’s or other associated person’s criminal tax evasion, if it takes place when they are acting as an associated person of your business. If HMRC decides a CCO has been committed, your business will have a criminal record and face a limitless financial penalty, plus significant adverse publicity and reputational damage.
To defend against a CCO, you’ll need to satisfy HMRC that you had ‘reasonable’ procedures in place to prevent the tax evasion. We offer various packages to put those procedures in place, tailored to your business.
