A client once called Simon “the Godfather of Tax”. Not because of control, but because of his directness.
Simon is the person clients and advisers call when the tax issue has become too important to guess. He advises on SDLT, LTT, LBTT and complex property-related tax matters, including reliefs, exemptions, mixed- use property, partnerships, multiple dwellings, non-resident issues, development structures, incorporations and HMRC enquiries.
His style is direct, forensic and practical. He does not make tax sound more mysterious than it needs to be. The rules are complicated enough already. Simon’s job is to identify the issue, explain the risk and give clients a route forward they can actually use.
He works particularly well with property investors, developers, entrepreneurs, solicitors, conveyancers, accountants and professional advisers who need senior tax input without the corporate theatre.
Clients come to Simon when the transaction is moving quickly, the figures are high, the SDLT position is unclear, or another adviser wants a specialist view before filing a return.
Typical work includes:
Why clients like working with Simon
Simon is direct. He will not bury the answer under caveats unless the caveats matter. He explains the risk, gives a view and helps clients understand what needs to happen next.
