Individuals in the public eye

Our clients are some of the most successful entertainers and sports people in the UK. We act for athletes, actors, models, all of whom value our hands-on approach to guide them through the tax minefield. We also make sure we collaborate with other advisors to make the process as seamless as possible.

We understand that as a performer or sports person, your income may fluctuate from year to year. We can take you through the whole process to ensuring you are paying the right amount of tax and at the right time in the right jurisdiction while making sure you are claiming the right expenses and there are no surprises.

There are also many tax planning opportunities available, so it is important to take professional advice on your circumstances as early as possible.
