Across five years of compliance and a successful exit
"Lewis built a position that survived two reviews. That's the only metric that matters."
A strong
foundation for
a clean exit.
Most of our clients arrive with the structural pieces already in place — the residence abroad, the offshore entity, the operating business across borders. What they lack is the documented evidence to make that position defensible.
Intention is irrelevant. Evidence wins. Tax authorities audit documentation, not lifestyle.

What's at stake.
Without the right structure, UK tax residency is a cost that compounds — and the wrong structure is worse than no structure at all.
Income tax on worldwide income for those deemed UK tax-resident — before NICs, CGT, or IHT.
Cumulative income tax exposure over a typical resident period — before CGT on appreciated holdings.
Documented. Defensible. Audit-ready year after year.
At meaningful asset levels, HMRC is paying attention.
Why most plans fail under scrutiny.
A visa is not a tax position.
A residence permit doesn't determine where tax is owed. Without genuine substance, the position fails on first contact with HMRC.
Substance survives scrutiny. Paperwork doesn't.
Tax authorities don't read what your visa says. They look at where your life actually is.
The rules are tightening. By design.
Residency tests are stricter. Reporting is expanding. Authorities now share data across borders.
The difference is in the detail.
We don't sell offshore structures. We build positions that hold under scrutiny — across residency, substance, and reporting in every jurisdiction they touch.
Full analysis across every limb of the Statutory Residence Test. Walked through every step. Annual review of where the position sits.
The work doesn't end at incorporation.

Trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant at a leading UK corporate firm, Lewis brings deep technical expertise in international tax structuring, cross-border planning, and multi-jurisdictional compliance.
He works directly with every client. There is no handoff, no junior team, no compromise on quality — the relationship that begins in advisory is the same one that handles your tenth annual filing.
"We do not fit clients into frameworks. We build frameworks around clients."
The first step is advisory.
The sooner we understand your full picture, the more options remain available to you.
Advisory Engagement
A comprehensive review of your entire situation — income, assets, shareholdings, board roles, offshore entities, jurisdictional presence, and ties to your home country. We build a detailed, bespoke plan covering exactly how to exit, where to establish residency, and how to restructure.
Setup & Ongoing Compliance
Once you are satisfied with the plan, we handle full implementation. Residency, restructuring, banking, substance documentation, annual filings — one team manages everything, end to end. You retain a single point of contact for the life of the relationship.
Let's discuss
your tax position.
Engagements are taken on a referred and selective basis. The first conversation is private, confidential, and obligation-free.
