What our clients have to say…

We worked with Sonal and her team recently in respect of the new legislation relating to the UK Register of Overseas Entities. Sonal was brilliant, she guided us through the whole process. Sonal and the team had a very good knowledge of the industry and could drill down to what was needed to achieve the goal. Sonal made the process as pain-free as possible under the circumstances within a relatively short timeframe. She was obviously backed up by a very good team and we managed to meet the deadline with smiles all around.

Lesley King

TEP, Senior Trust Officer, Rosemont International

What our clients have to say…

We have worked with Gerald Edelman and the international tax team on a number of our companies over the past eight year and the service that we have been given has been excellent.

We have dealt with the team on a large variety of UK tax matters on a number of companies, registered in a number of different jurisdictions, and the depth of knowledge within their international tax team, and quick response is reassuring to us.

James Glew

CEO, Lionfish Consulting Limited

What our clients have to say…

My husband and I have worked with Sonal and Ana-Maria at Gerald Edelman since 2017. They have handled our complicated international tax affairs with a lot of patience and diligence since then. Their advice as to how to handle various situations has been very useful, and deeply customised to our personal circumstances. They have both been available whenever we have needed them and have always provided detailed reports to us for accuracy. We trust their expertise and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing tax expertise from a UK perspective with an international viewpoint.

Elodie Jamous

Personal Tax Client since 2017

What our clients have to say…

…we got to a point where we knew we needed specialist advice. Our initial draft plans on how to operate the Dutch subsidiary needed to change. Sonal’s considered, balanced advice ensured that we were not only covered in areas we hadn’t accounted for, but we were also able to drive change in our long-term approach. We are now confident that we are setting up the Dutch subsidiary effectively and efficiently.

Rob Lunn

Chief Product Officer, Fennech

What our clients have to say…

Sonal and her team have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the UK tax system and have provided excellent advice and support to my wife and I during our relocation to the UK. The service has been well tailored to our needs, efficient and responsive, thereby providing peace of mind.

I would highly recommend the international tax team, who have demonstrated a broad range of capabilities.

What our clients have to say…

Working with Sonal is easy, she doesn’t make things complicated. Instead, she offers high-level quality solutions to any tax matters and combines it with the right portion of fun and joy. It’s a true pleasure to work with such a qualified and trustful partner!

Konstantin Semenduev

Corporate client

What our clients have to say…

Dealing with Sonal and the tax team at Gerald Edelman was a refreshing experience; Sonal explained the issues clearly and I was able to easily grasp the task at hand and provide her with the correct information. I particularly appreciated Sonal's skilled technical input which enabled her to deal fully with the points raised so that the matter could be quickly and satisfactorily concluded. I enjoyed working with Sonal and was delighted with the end result. I would most certainly recommend Sonal, and Gerald Edelman, to friends or associates.

Frequently asked questions

Why do you need an International Tax accountant or adviser?

+
-

Working with an international tax adviser is the best way to minimise your tax burden and ensure your business is fully compliant with strict regulations in different tax jurisdictions.

We are looking to grow our business overseas – can you help us?

+
-

Yes, our multilingual team specialises in supporting companies and entrepreneurs as they look to expand or relocate their business to another country outside the UK. We can manage every aspect of your international tax planning and compliance, leaving you to focus on running your business.

What are the tax implications of moving my business to the UK?

+
-

Depending on the nature of your business and current location, you may have the choice between registering a UK-based branch or incorporating a new subsidiary. Each of these options has its pros and cons, and our specialist tax accountants and advisers can help decide the best option for you.

Do you work with non-domiciled individuals?

+
-

Yes, we often work with non-dom residents (people who regard another country as their “home” country”). There are very specific tax rules around foreign income that apply to non-doms, which is why they should always seek the advice of an international tax accountant when considering their personal tax affairs.

What are my options with regards to UK residential property structuring?

+
-

There is no one size fits all option and it all depends on your goals together with any short, medium and long term plans. We can consider both onshore and offshore structuring and can provide advice on the related tax implications for each of the options. Complex tax legislation needs to be carefully applied, therefore having a consultant guiding you and keeping you updated is key.
