Dear Member

    

We have a busy season in London with a property webinar (Investment in UK commercial and residential real estate presented by Dmitry Zapol of IFS Consultants) held last week on 4th May which you can listen to on our Brighttalk channel.  We have another webinar coming up next week on ‘Entitlement to US treaty benefits for EU residents’ which I will be presenting along with Paul Hocking of Frank Hirth in London and Robert Kiggins in New York – this is at 5pm UK time on 19th May and again can be accessed on the Brighttalk channel.  As always, full details are on our website.


The next discussion group is on 24th May to be held at Close Brothers on the topic of the International Family Office and what happens when problems arise in the family such as divorce, death and insolvency.  IBSA members are always welcome without charge, and we are always happy to host first time guests so they can get to know what the IBSA is about.  As a member, we would be pleased to welcome a guest that you would like to bring to what is likely to be a fascinating discussion (with networking drinks as usual at the end of the event).

  

We are also preparing for our next workshop following the success of our last one on 12th April on ‘International Tax Disputes’.  The next workshop will be on The Business of Sport and Entertainment’ and is on the morning of 22nd June at Saffery Champness office.  The programme is on our website, and I am sure that any professional advisor involved with sports personalities or entertainers will find this workshop invaluable.  Among the presenters will be Patrick Way QC plus professional advisers and commercial experts conversant with the various issues encountered when planning the career and engagements of these individuals. I have written an extensive article summarising the issues involved which need to be addressed and this can be found on the website as can be seen below in the Articles section of this newsletter.  And please don’t forget that we welcome articles from all members which we will feature on our website and send out in our monthly newsletters.  Amongst this month’s articles is a terrific, if somewhat biased, Brexit article from IFX’s economists, which I am sure will be of interest to all our members.

    

Finally, a note for your diaries please.  Our annual members’ dinner will be held this year on Thursday evening November 17th, the night before our annual conference on 18th November entitled Guiding the Development of an SME Client’.  We will be uploading the programme for this conference on our website under Events in the next couple of weeks.

    

With best wishes,

THE SPECIAL TAX REGIMES APPLICABLE TO ENTERTAINERS & SPORTSMEN


There are few areas of international tax planning which offer as much scope for creative structuring as the field of entertainment generally and also for our sporting heros. This article will summarise the principal considerations to be borne in mind when structuring international arrangements involving entertainers and sportsmen and the special tax regimes applicable to these arrangements.

THE 2016 BUDGET: HOW MIGHT IT AFFECT YOU?

Adam Kay, Saffery Champness

   

It was widely expected that the decline in the global financial outlook since last year’s Autumn Statement would mean that the Chancellor would be forced into raising taxes in the 2016 Budget. However, rather surprisingly, he managed to present a Budget with decreases in the headline rates of capital gains tax and corporation tax.

"BREXIT - A FUNDAMENTAL CONTORTION IN THE NARRATIVE' is the Brexit debate, the apparent no-brainer it seems or is it in fact, much less of a threat and instead potentially one of the greatest missed opportunities of the 21st Century.

James Bronte-Stewart, IFX

       

The recent Brexit debate has been a David vs Goliath contest between the Governmental and Economic powers that be, against a handful of renegade dissenters. The ECB, IMF, BoE and Treasury have all thrown their hats into the ring in what looks like an unambiguous favouritism to one side of the debate.


10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT R&D TAX RELIEF

James Bramsdon, Saffery Champness

    

Since its launch in 2000, Research & Development (R&D) tax relief has been one of the government’s key initiatives for stimulating greater spending by companies on the creation and improvement of products and services, to promote innovation and help grow the UK’s knowledge-based economy.
