Amal Shah

When providing guidance, I always try to imagine that I am the client and consider what, in their shoes, I would like from my adviser, and use this methodology to construct the most suitable tax strategies.

I aim to build and maintain strong, personal relationships with my clients and let them know that I am happy to assist with anything they may need, whether that be recommendations for other professional advisers such as lawyers or estate agents, or simply a good restaurant!

My work mainly focuses on providing tax advice to clients, from high net worth individuals and personal tax clients to non-resident landlord companies on all matters relating to tax. With proactive tax planning, I help to minimise exposure to Corporation Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax and income tax. I also regularly advise clients on property tax structuring with UK and offshore structures. I have experience across a broad range of sectors including property, financial services and technology.

I graduated with a degree in Business Management (Accounting) from Brunel University and went on to become a member of the Associate of Taxation Technicians in 2011 and qualified as a Chartered Tax Adviser in 2013.

I’ve always dreamt of taking a sabbatical and travelling the world with my family for a few months – we would have such amazing adventures and create some fantastic memories.
