Restructuring of UK-based business to safeguard assets, analysis of tax implications.
Our client - an influential businessman from one of the former CIS countries and tax resident of the UK - contacted us for assistance in assets restructuring in order to enable tax-efficient investment activities in the UK and Switzerland, subject to proper asset protection from authorities in his home country. Since his departure and until now, the client has implemented a range of measures to protect his assets and reputation from certain politically motivated attacks.

We prepared recommendations, involving leading lawyers from our UK partner firm. The report included a strategy plan for restructuring all client assets, including his personal funds and funds on company accounts, utilising trust law arrangements, tax advice, taking into consideration aspects of tax on remittances and inheritance legislation. As part of the report, a detailed plan was provided with a separate focus on the tax implications of setting up a family office in the UK and an offshore trust.

“Any taxpayer can face complex tax issues at both corporate and personal levels, ending up on the radar of tax authorities, which could be a very stressful experience.”
