About

Provided by Maurice Turnor Gardner LLP

Our team’s focus spans complex domestic and international tax planning, structuring and tax authority engagement for UHNW clients.

Our role is not only to provide the best possible service to our clients, but also to help shape the future of tax policy in the UK. One of the ways that we do this is by detailed responses to Treasury consultations on new tax policies/draft legislation as well as liaising with our peers to assess how we can best influence the matters that most closely affect our clients.  

The diversity of enquiries handled this year – from advising on rapid changes to UK tax policy, crypto location disputes and Schedule A1 valuation challenges to motive-defence filings and FIG-driven restructuring – reflects a depth of contentious tax expertise that is unusual for a private wealth-focused firm and is why referrers increasingly turn to us when enquiries escalate. A growing part of our practice involves defending clients in high-stakes HMRC enquiries and disputes.
