Cleartaxation

About Cleartaxation

Cleartaxation is an Edinburgh practice built around one audience: Americans who live in Britain and must file in both countries each year. Its two named advisers hold qualifications on each side, a UK Chartered Tax Adviser designation and IRS Enrolled Agent status, so both returns are prepared from a single set of figures rather than passed between separate firms. Typical situations described include newcomers handling their first year of split-year treatment, long-term residents catching up on missed US filings through the streamlined route, people whose ISAs, pensions or UK funds raise US reporting issues, and those weighing renunciation of citizenship. The site also explains how a UK company set up by a US person can trigger controlled foreign corporation reporting. Fees are fixed, quoted in pounds before work begins, and indicative starting prices are shown on the site, which is available in English only.

Services

Core work is tax compliance for US persons resident in the UK: US federal returns with foreign earned income exclusion or foreign tax credits, FBAR reporting, UK self assessment, and combined preparation of both returns with treaty positions aligned. The practice also prepares streamlined catch-up submissions covering past years, reviews investments and pensions for US reporting treatment, models the tax cost of renouncing citizenship, and supports forward planning. Clients send one secure document request and receive a fixed written quote.
