International Private Wealth

It is becoming challenging to effectively manage private wealth, assets and business interests across multiple jurisdictions. As a high or ultra-high net worth individual you will have a complex mix of property, business interests and investments across the globe. You and your advisers are having to manage efficient tax reporting and compliance under a number of tax regimes as well as being aware of residency and other rules.

International reach and expertise

BDO is the fifth largest global accountancy and business service network with over 1,500 offices in 162 countries. Our international network gives us the reach and expertise to support you and your advisers wherever and however you need it.

You will benefit from the close international cooperation of our Private Client teams across our network and their collective focus on delivering you exceptional service. You also need to be sure that all decisions are being taken to improve your global tax position, not just in a single jurisdiction.

You and your advisers will be able to work with our international desks that provide deeper expertise in the major jurisdictions and the world’s largest financial centres. If you have interests in the US, you may also wish to work with our specialist US Private Wealth and Entrepreneurial tax team based in London.

Non-domicile and Residency

Residency and non-domicile rules are key to making the right decisions for your family and business interests. We have developed substantial expertise in advising non-domiciles in the UK. These include offshore trustees and directors, private equity investors, senior executives and management teams. They work with us to understand their requirements from a business, personal and family perspective. 

All aspects of international tax advice are interdependent and necessary in providing a full understanding of the worldwide tax implications for our clients. So while international tax advice is provided by the BDO member firm in the relevant jurisdiction, we coordinate and manage international projects to ensure you receive a seamless service.
