Bradley is a Tax Manager with the Tax team.

He has great experience and splits his time across the three core practice areas: Tax Advisory, Tax Risk & Dispute Resolution, and Tax Compliance. He is committed to providing high-quality practical advice that makes a meaningful difference to clients.

 

Bradley has a particular focus on high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, especially those who are globally mobile. He often assists clients on:

 

Pre-arrival planning: helping to achieve tax efficiencies for people coming to the UK.

 

Compliance checks: assisting individuals who have received compliance checks/enquiries from HMRC.

 

Tax residence: helping individuals/families understand how their travel may impact their UK tax position and planning for the future.

 

Cross-border compliance: working closely with advisors in other jurisdictions to provide a holistic approach for globally mobile individuals and families.

 

UK exit planning: helping individuals avoid any inadvertent tax charges following their exit from the UK.

 

HMRC enquiries: assisting individuals with identifying and potentially regularising their UK tax affairs to HMRC.

 

Bradley is focused on providing advice to clients that helps them achieve their goals/objectives or to provide a degree of comfort by seeking swift resolutions for dispute matters, as we’re conscious that having an open enquiry can be enormously stressful for people.

 

Bradley joined the tax team in July 2017 and since joining has gone on to pass the Association of Tax Technician and Charted Tax Advisor exams, having become a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation in May 2021.

EXPERIENCE
Bradley’s experience includes:
Dispute: Bradley acted for an individual who relocated to the UK and mistakenly assumed the remittance basis of taxation applied automatically. This matter addressed the intricate application of the remittance basis rules and wider trust taxation, demonstrating how detailed technical analysis can resolve significant cross-border tax issues. Bradley was the main point of contact but also undertake the technical analysis which formed the basis of the submission to HMRC.
Dispute: Bradley acted for over 20 trusts established for similar purposes, initially claimed as charitable trusts but challenged by HMRC. The dispute centred on defining charitable status for income tax and capital gains tax purposes and had been ongoing with the trustees for over 6 years. Bradley’s role was to be the main point of contact with the caseworker at HMRC to discuss penalty mitigation and working collaboratively to reach a resolution that all parties were agreeable to.
Advice: Bradley acted for trustees to advise on the UK tax implications of the structure and the tax implications of any potential distributions to the beneficiaries. This matter considered the availability of the motive defence, capital/income distribution classification, application of ESC B18 and an explanation of how capital distributions would be ‘matched’. Bradley’s role was to draft the advice regarding the tax implications for the Trust, to subsequently draft the historic pools and to then assist the beneficiaries with their relevant tax filing obligations (as well as separately advising other beneficiaries on the tax implications). This included liaising with firms in other jurisdictions (where some of the beneficiaries were tax residents) to ensure there were no adverse implications of our advice in other jurisdictions.
Advice: Bradley acted for an individual who was in the process of a divorce with an overview of the tax considerations based on the Draft Final Order they had been supplied with, as well as advising on the wider tax considerations for them personally (including a comparative of a potential UK exit or an application of the previously existing non-domicile regime) including clean capital planning and the relevant charging provisions.
