Reach
The geographical spread of TRRUK clients extends across the UK and indeed the world.
For some, their affairs are entirely UK centric; some are UK based but with offshore interests; some are based outside the UK but with UK interests.
TTRUK Can work with you
In today's world, a contentious tax practice faces a perfect storm.
Governments are producing more and more legislation resulting in increased complexity. Regulatory authorities are requiring more and more information from citizens to provide to tax authorities who share it between jurisdictions resulting in increased transparency. Complexity increases the risk of being non-compliant.
Transparency increases the risk of being identified as such (sometimes incorrectly identified). Finally the penalty consequences of being non-compliant can range from financial to reputational to criminal with a penalty regime which has become more draconian. TRRUK can work with you to mitigate these tax risks.
