The trend towards international mobility is growing.  It is not unusual for people to live in several countries during the course of their careers before retiring to a country other than that of their origin.  Likewise, more and more people are purchasing second homes outside their country of residence.

These changes in lifestyle have led to a growing need for advice that spans several tax jurisdictions.  For example, even the purchase of a holiday home abroad requires advice on how to finance, purchase and hold the property to guarantee both local and UK tax efficiency.

Advising clients with business interests, personal wealth and family connections throughout the world forms a significant part of day-to-day business for our international team.  Our extensive experience is coupled with easy access to local expertise of member firms across Deloitte’s global network, whenever we need it.  We aim to streamline matters as much as possible by providing a single partner to co-ordinate advice, irrespective of the number of jurisdictions involved.  This approach ensures that advice is delivered in a coherent manner through one point of contact.

The result? Highly informed advice that cuts through the complexities every time, keeping your tax affairs simple.

We bring our experience to bear on a wide range of issues, including:

• Ensuring our clients’ affairs are tax-efficient in all relevant jurisdictions.
• Cross-border tax advice and co-ordination of international aspects.
• The interaction of double tax treaties. 
• International estate planning.
• Remitting income and capital gains to the UK.
• Purchasing and holding overseas and UK property.
• Moving to or leaving the UK.
