Andrew Cazalet

Services

Provision of tax advice to :

- Individuals and small business owners moving to the UK or the other way leaving

- Other Professionals – financial advisers , accountants, solicitors, etc

You will receive direct practical advice from me, not just technical papers. I differentiate myself from say the Big Four by being prepared to offer an opinion instead of rehashing legislation. The advice given is, of course, still technically robust, based on considerable years of experience.
