Articles by Dhana Sabanathan:
The UK and Switzerland signed a tax agreement on 6 October 2011 (the "Agreement") to promote cooperation between the two countries in relation to taxation and cross border financial services. We have provided a short summary of the main provisions of the Agreement.
The Government introduced new visa rules in March 2011 with the aim of attracting foreign investors. As a result the current Tier 1 UK Investor Visa is a relatively straightforward route for high net worth individuals coming to live in the UK.
HMRC has recently established its "Affluence Team". This two hundred member team will be tasked with looking into the tax affairs of the estimated 350,000 individuals whose personal wealth exceeds £2.5 million.
Dhana Sabanathan discusses how to preserve wealth for generations to come.
Whether an individual is UK resident or not can have a significant impact in relation to the taxation of their worldwide income and gains. Glen Atchison and Dhana Sabanathan look at the Government's recent issue of a consultation paper as a step towards introducing a Statutory Residence Test.
In this article, the Tax Group focus on the implications that the Coalition Government's First Budget will have for UK resident and non-UK domiciled individuals.
The Chancellor's Budget announced a number of welcome changes clearly designed to rejuvenate investment in the UK. Entrepreneurs in particular are set to benefit, with significant positive changes in relation to Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and entrepreneurs' relief. Furthermore the reduction of the rates of corporation tax should make the UK more competitive.
Untangling the legal affairs of married foreign nationals can make interpreting Resolution 1441 look like child's play, say Dhana Sabanathan and Katie Longmate from Harbottle & Lewis.
For many individuals who engage in even relatively straight forward tax planning, arranging their financial affairs may involve both lawyers and accountants. However, in light of the issue of privilege, the consequences of being advised by either a lawyer or an accountant can be far reaching.
You may think you've divorced yourself from the UK, but the taxman sees it differently. Glen Atchison and Dhana Sabanathan explain.
