Carole Le Page

I'm a Tax Partner based in Reading, working with a diverse range of clients from owner-managed start-ups to private equity-backed groups and large multinationals. Whilst I work across sectors, I have a particular focus on life sciences and healthcare where I lead our national sector team.

I have a commercial and strategic outlook coupled with a breadth and depth of technical knowledge and experience from over 25 years in the tax field.  I have substantial experience supporting relatively early-stage businesses and their shareholders proactively manage their tax position as they grow both in scale and internationally, often with a view to an M&A transaction.  I also have experience supporting larger multinational groups in a wide range of areas such as international structuring, tax due diligence, share plans, tax compliance and tax risk.  I regularly use my breadth of experience to conduct the orchestra of tax and non-tax advisers and deal with potentially conflicting aspects to find a commercial and practical route forward.

I am CTA and ACA qualified, having initially trained as an auditor.  I have written for BDO authored and external publications and often speak at events on tax matters.

Ask me about life sciences and healthcare matters, tax structuring, international expansion, tax compliance, M&A tax and intellectual property taxation.
