corporate tax

The Corporate Tax team provides advice on a wide range of tax issues, mostly centred around three areas: corporate tax, property tax, and employee incentives. Whether taking a lead in advising our clients, or working alongside other departments within the firm, we are always looking to provide advice that is not only technically correct, but which will also help our clients reach commercial and practical solutions.

On corporate matters, we regularly advise on mergers and acquisitions, group re‑organisations, MBO’s and flotations, for clients ranging from owner managed businesses to listed companies. We also work closely with our property department and their clients, providing a full suite of property tax advice, working with landowners, investors, developers and retail clients among others. On corporate and property deals our advice covers tax efficient structuring of transactions, as well as providing the more day to day transactional tax support on SDLT, VAT and direct taxes.

Our other main area of focus revolves around employment tax, including share options and other incentives. From hiring to firing, or rewarding along the way, we can help with the tax issues that crop up.

The team is regularly listed among leaders in its field in legal guides ("terrifically practical" – Chambers UK), and includes member(s) of the Chartered Institute of Taxation.
