Why choose an industry-specialist US-UK tax advisor?
Cross-border rules bite differently by sector — royalties for musicians, FIRPTA for property investors, GILTI for tech founders, or Theatre Tax Relief for productions. An advisor who knows both the US-UK tax treaty and your industry spots reliefs and risks a generalist misses, and structures your affairs around how your particular income actually arises.
Which industries do you specialise in across the US and UK?
We advise clients across entertainment, film and TV, music, theatre, sport, influencers and creators, technology and software, fintech, real estate, hospitality and tourism, luxury retail, e-commerce, professional services and venture capital and private equity — plus high-net-worth individuals, trusts and businesses expanding between the two countries.
Do industry rules change my core US and UK obligations?
The fundamentals stay the same: US citizens are taxed on worldwide income and file with the IRS, UK residents file self-assessment, and FBAR and FATCA reporting apply to foreign accounts. What changes by industry is how income is characterised and which reliefs, withholding rules and structures best fit your revenue streams.
Can you help a business expanding between the US and UK?
Yes. We advise on entity choice, permanent establishment, transfer pricing, payroll, VAT and sales-tax registration, and Form 5471 or GILTI exposure when US owners hold a UK company. We coordinate both sides of the expansion so the same profits are not taxed twice and compliance is handled in each jurisdiction.
What if my situation spans several industries?
Many clients do — an artist who also runs a company, or a founder investing through a fund. Because we are cross-border specialists first, we look at your full picture across the US and UK rather than a single niche, and coordinate the treaty, structuring and reporting so everything fits together cleanly.
