Whether you are moving to the UK, investing in the UK or looking to grow your business internationally, our International Tax advisers are here to minimise your exposure to tax, help you to achieve your goals and ease the compliance process from start to finish.
With an office in London, a multilingual team, and a thriving international network, we're here to help individuals and businesses moving in and out of the UK with expert cross-border tax services.
Get in touch
We can help you understand how the timing of your arrival in the UK can affect your tax liabilities, and we can advise where best to place your assets, both geographically and in terms of the nature of investments.
We deal with matters such as residence and domicile issues, segregation of funds, double taxation agreements, and choosing between the use of the remittance basis and the arising basis for UK tax purposes. Inheritance tax is also considered to ensure careful protection of worldwide wealth for future heirs.
Upon your arrival in the UK, we can advise on how you will be taxed moving forwards, including the most effective method for remitting wealth into the country. Our guidance is rooted in UK tax law, ensuring that you are correctly registered for tax, your annual tax returns are completed accurately, and that you remain fully compliant with relevant tax obligations.
We provide expert guidance on all taxes related to land and property, including transactional tax issues for commercial and residential property, advice on onshore and offshore structuring, restructuring, and related compliance services. We have broad experience in dealing with the complex and often unexpected issues relating to property tax, including Stamp Duty, Capital Gains, Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED), and more.
We'll help you with every aspect of Corporation Tax, whether it's establishing and structuring a UK presence, UK subsidiaries of overseas companies, foreign branches, UK holding companies, profit extraction, exit strategies, cross border transactions, transfer pricing, or withholding taxes.
We can set up and advise on Offshore Trusts to aid succession planning, helping to interpret the complexities related to Inheritance Tax, Income Tax, taxation of distributions, UK trust register requirements, and related compliance services.
The team also has vast experience in double taxation agreements as applicable to both individual and corporate situations, and regularly helps our clients avoid being taxed twice.
Multi-jurisdictional tax matters require specific guidance from several countries, so through our international alliance, XLNC, we proactively co-ordinate with our local colleagues to provide cohesive advice, and to ensure the effectiveness and suitability of a proposed structure across the relevant countries.
Whatever challenges you’re currently facing, our team will work closely with you to understand your goals, weigh up your options, and provide straightforward guidance you can rely on.
Led by Sonal Shah, our team is on hand to provide International Tax advice to large multinationals, SMEs, and individuals moving to or from the UK.

I am very happy indeed with the service and work done so far with you all. You have helped make a complex and challenging time - transitioning from one country to another - much smoother.
Private Client
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.
Private client
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.
Personal Tax Client since 2017
We are a general practice based in Bath working with an interesting group of clients, one of whom recently required a detailed understanding of the tax consequences of moving back to the UK after several years spent abroad... Refreshingly we spoke with an individual [at GE] who understood the problem and who collaborated with us to devise a plan. As a result, we were able to produce a report for the client which was on time and budget. The client has now returned back to the UK where they are continuing to champion cutting edge medical advancements for the benefit of us all.
The PI Partnership
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 and quick response is reassuring to us.
CEO, Lionfish Consulting Limited
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.
TEP, Senior Trust Officer, Rosemont International
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.
During 2024 I engaged the services of Sonal Shah to assist me in a planned relocation from South Africa to the United Kingdom. The advice sought covered pre and post arrival tax planning considerations for both myself, my family and an existing offshore trust.
I have been very fortunate in the choice of an adviser in that Sonal has completely guided me through a particularly complex tax environment with well articulated planning advice and provided me with a structured plan to facilitate my relocation.
Based on my experience I have no hesitation in endorsing the professional competence of Sonal Shah.
Individual
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.
Chief Product Officer, Fennech
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!

Yes, our 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. This includes:
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.
Yes, we can provide tailored International Tax advice for individuals classified as non-dom residents (i.e. 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 expert support is critical.
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 lawneeds to be carefully applied, therefore having a consultant guiding you and keeping you updated is key.
