Global Tax Services
We have established a robust international network of tax partners specialising in serving sports professionals in various countries, including Belgium, Dubai, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Canada, and the USA. This global presence allows us to seamlessly support our clients throughout their careers, regardless of the sports leagues they move to. Our expertise in international tax matters proves invaluable when assisting sports stars moving to and from the UK.
Dealing with HMRC
We regularly handle tax investigations from HMRC, including Employer Compliance Reviews for clubs and enquiries into Self-Assessment tax matters for players. Our team can review new and ongoing tax audits and provide pre-audit health checks to minimise the risk of potential fines for non-compliance.
Sports professionals frequently face audits from HMRC, and we are pleased to offer our Fee Protection Arrangements within our fee proposals, covering any costs we incur of up to £100,000 when dealing with an HMRC audit. This added protection can be highly beneficial as HMRC audits often take 1-2 years to fully close.
If you have any income from prior years that has yet to be declared, we can assist with full disclosure and mitigation of penalties, helping bring everything up to date.

Moreover, our collaboration extends to expert insurance advisers who offer guidance on tax mitigation planning and coverage for potential career-ending injuries – a crucial aspect of your professional journey.
Our commitment is to provide comprehensive support, covering everything from commercial deals, image rights arrangements, and sponsorships to legal matters through our extensive network of legal partners.
In addition, we offer tailored financial education training for sports professionals at every career stage, from training academies to top-level sports leagues.
