American Tax Consulting UK

About American Tax Consulting UK

Based in Harrow, north-west London, this specialist practice handles both American and British personal tax for people whose lives span the two countries. Its founder began in a Big Four environment in 1997 and later led US private client tax teams at larger firms before setting up the business, and the site cites about twenty-five years of dual-system experience. Clients include Americans resident in the UK, US persons living elsewhere, people relocating between the two countries, and non-US individuals with US-source income. Work is led by an adviser qualified in both systems, who is a US Enrolled Agent entitled to act before the IRS and a member of the Association of Taxation Technicians. Fees are agreed in advance, with published starting prices for each type of return, and phone and email support is included. The firm serves individuals rather than companies, communicates in English, and lists a single office. It also offers guidance on regulatory reporting such as FBAR and FATCA, plus expatriation planning.

Services

Services comprise US federal and state return preparation, amended returns, foreign tax credit and earned income exclusion claims, FBAR and FATCA reporting, PFIC and foreign trust reporting, treaty positions, IRS representation and catch-up filing through the streamlined procedures. On the UK side it prepares resident and non-resident self assessment returns, reviews residence and domicile status, advises on remittances, overseas workday relief and double tax relief, and plans pre-arrival tax. Expatriation returns and exit-tax planning for those renouncing US citizenship are also covered.
