Hampden Tax Consultants

We act for clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, including:

Barristers; bond dealers; clergymen; commodities traders; consultant anaesthetists; corporate financiers; farmers; hedge fund managers; insurance brokers; insurance underwriters; investment managers; Lloyd’s agents; management consultants; professors of architecture; serial entrepreneurs; solicitors and teachers. We also act for a number of retired people, whose tax affairs are sufficiently complex to warrant a Return.

Some of our clients are employed, some are self-employed and some are both, and we are happy to prepare self-employed accounts. Some are in partnership, often with a spouse or civil partner, and we also deal with partnership accounts and Returns.

Our database also reveals that we presently act for residents of, amongst others: Australia; Canada; France; Germany; Hong Kong; Kenya; Malaysia; Malta; New Zealand; Singapore; South Africa; and the United States of America. In addition, we act for several clients with a foreign domicile of origin, who are resident in the UK. We are therefore accustomed to helping clients in these situations tailor their arrangements to take advantage of the tax breaks that the rules provide and avoid the pitfalls too.

We also act for a number of trustees, preparing their Tax Returns and accounts, where required. Although the former income and capital gains tax advantages of trusts have been removed in recent years, they still remain a valuable tool for inheritance tax mitigation and asset protection.

We are not Independent Financial Advisors, so cannot recommend specific investments to our clients nor put them into effect. We are, however, able to give generic investment advice on the pros and cons of investing in the various options available to the public and the tax consequences of doing so. This would include Individual Savings Accounts, companies approved under the Enterprise Investment Scheme, Venture Capital Trusts, Personal Pension Schemes, Self Invested Pension Plans, Insurance Bonds and so on. Where a client does not have an IFA, we are able to make an introduction to one or more who have advised our clients well in the past.
