Our teams assure the tax paid by wealthy individuals and tackle risks and non-compliant behaviours to ensure that wealthy individuals contribute to the health of the tax system. This involves a strong, policy, technical and data led approach to promoting compliance and preventing non-compliance that encourages and supports the customer to get things right first time.
Our approach is tailored to the risk that is presented by our customers.
Our Complex Cross-tax and Offshore (CCTO) multi-disciplinary team brings together tax specialists from different regimes to work holistically across the entirety of the wealthy individual's tax horizon including their partnerships, corporates and onshore & offshore trusts. By having a holistic understanding of the Wealthy individual in their entirety, well improve how we prevent, promote, and respond to compliance risks within this population.

We will also be discussing the application process and next steps. Additionally, there will be time on these sessions for you to ask questions directly to the team.
