tax services - leaving the UK

We have built up expertise in advising individuals and businesses on the problems they face when looking to relocate abroad. We have advised on moves to USA, Australia, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands, as well as advising others moving into the UK.

We particularly enjoy the challenges when someone with their own business wishes to move out of the UK. This allows our full team of tax specialists to be involved in giving you all the expertise you need. One of our UK financial advisors lived in Australia for 10 years and had his own business.

Whether you are a private individual requiring help with personal tax issues or a large corporate client with an international business, websters can provide a personal and cost efficient service to meet your needs. We work to minimize tax liability and offer peace of mind by providing an appropriate level of advice and support. Our flexible organization means that we can bring in just the right type of help and expertise given your situation.

Our tax specialists include two former Tax Inspectors, Chartered Tax Advisors, a Solicitor and Chartered Accountants. We tailor our planning to meet your business or personal needs, not sell pre-packaged schemes.
