What does an international tax adviser do?

An international tax adviser helps businesses and individuals manage tax obligations and opportunities across multiple jurisdictions. They’re there to offer advice on cross-border structuring, tax residency and domicile, international transactions, transfer pricing, and compliance with domestic and international tax regulations.

It’s all about finding the most efficient way to deal with taxes, investing or just generally moving around the world.

How much can you expect to pay a tax adviser in the UK?

The cost of a tax adviser in the UK is going to vary depending on how complicated the work is, which countries are involved and what exactly you need help with. Typically, they’re priced based on the time they spend working with you, the sort of help you need.

They may also do a big job for a set project fee. Look for individuals and companies who’re upfront about how much they’re going to charge so you know exactly what you’re getting.

When should international tax advice be sought?

International tax advice is at its most valuable when you’re about to enter a new market, make a big cross-border deal, move to a new country or even just change your tax address.

The sooner you chat to a tax pro the better. They can help you spot any risks, compliance obligations to be managed, and structures to be implemented efficiently. This reduces the likelihood of unexpected tax exposure later.
