Personal Tax

Why personal tax efficiency matters

How can you be sure you are not paying too much tax? Are you risking penalties because you are paying too little? What steps are available for you to pass on your personal wealth to your family? Every taxpayer asks these questions, regardless of their employed, self-employed or retired status.

How we can help

KPMG member firms’ help employees, entrepreneurs and other high net worth individuals tackle these issues every working day of the year. The assistance provided by our Private Client Advisory group on both a national and international basis includes:

• Tax compliance services
• Tax planning advice
• Assistance with broader documentation and financial planning.

The group operates through a global network of tax professionals, accountants and, where permitted by local regulations, lawyers. It also works with other practices within KPMG, such as Corporate Finance, to help protect and enhance the value of high net worth entrepreneurs’ assets from a business and personal standpoint.

Our International Executive Services (IES) practice advises on personal tax matters for internationally mobile employees. Operating across 140 countries, their role is to foster compliance with tax rules in an international assignee’s home and host countries. This includes preparing tax returns and advising on remuneration packages, which help balance the myriad of tax implications from working overseas.

Why choose KPMG?

We pride ourselves on the technical and commercial abilities of our member firm professionals. For our personal tax clients, that means having confidence they are in full compliance with the requirements of the tax authorities, while knowing practical steps have been taken to manage their tax liabilities and protect their personal wealth.

We also enjoy productive relationships with the authorities themselves. We defend vigorously our member firms clients in disputes, but we aim to achieve the desired outcome by combining an intimate knowledge of what the authorities may find acceptable with constructive negotiation.
