Our
firm
Unusually for a UK tax practice, we specialise in
individual taxation for expatriates who are either
UK or foreign nationals. As well as UK tax returns,
we can also prepare US tax returns, and so we understand
the interaction between the UK and US tax systems
for expatriates. As a result, our clients include
many US citizens who are required to file Federal
(and possibly State) income tax returns on a worldwide
basis, irrespective of where they live.
Services available include:
Tax and social security compliance services
1. Preparation of individual UK income tax returns,
for multiple years if needed;
2. Preparation of individual US Federal and State
income tax returns, for multiple years if needed;
3. Correspondence with HM Revenue & Customs,
including preparation of the appropriate tax and
social security forms for arrival in, and departure
from, the UK;
4. Correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service,
State tax authorities and the Social Security
Administration, including preparation of extensions,
audits and problem resolution.
Tax and social security planning services
1. Individual UK and US income tax advice for
UK, US and other foreign nationals;
2. Advice regarding a prospective move to, or
from, the UK;
3. Advice for individuals and employers on the
appropriate social security contribution coverage
when moving from their home country to prevent
duplication of expense and ensure coverage;
4. Advice on issues connected with residence and
domicile for UK income tax purposes.
Our clients live in the UK or abroad
We act for employers and UK, US and other foreign
nationals living either in or outside the UK.
Typically, clients have moved to the UK for a
limited period, or are expatriate UK nationals
working outside the UK, with fees paid either
by the employer or increasingly, by the individuals
themselves. Some UK individual clients have no
expatriate issues, but value our personal tax
expertise.
We are pleased to meet with clients at our office.
Over time, we have found that working with email,
phone, post, fax and courier covers most issues
well, and so the worldwide location of our clients
is no barrier to the level of service we provide.
Our experience and fees
The practice was established in 1995, and Karen
Worcester has London ‘Big Four’ firm
experience, and has been working with expatriates
since 1980. As a result, and because we are located
outside London, we believe that we offer many
of the specialised skills associated with a major
international firm, with a high level of personal
attention and competitive fees. Our charges are
based on the level of expertise needed and the
time taken, and are discussed in full and agreed
at the beginning of an engagement.
