Overview

A truly full service global tax and private client department, we have unrivalled experience in corporate, commercial, real estate and finance taxation as well as a team who advise international high and ultra-high net worth individuals and their families on all matters affecting their business, personal and family wealth, and the institutions entrusted with the effective management of that wealth.

BCLP’s tax advice and controversy practice includes advice with respect to the structure, negotiation and documentation in connection with the formation, financing and acquisition or disposition of public and private entities. We also advise on post-acquisition restructuring and integration of such entities. We work closely with our colleagues in M&A, Corporate Finance, Employee Benefits and other practice groups to provide an integrated and team approach to the relevant transaction with the client's overall business objectives as paramount to the process. 

Our private client lawyers work together seamlessly across our global network to deliver advice to our clients, many of whom have complex affairs in multiple jurisdictions, which is tailored to suit their needs, objectives, values and future plans. Personal service and attention to individual, business, and family circumstances are hallmarks of BCLP's private client practice.

A capital blow for deducting management expenses

The Supreme Court confirmed in Centrica Overseas Holdings Ltd v HMRC that the tests for trading and management expenses of a capital nature are the same. The decision also confirms that once a company has decided in principle to dispose of a capital asset, any professional fees incurred afterwards in pursuance of that sale are likely to be capital and not deductible under CTA 2009 s 1219, even if a purchaser for that asset has not yet been identified and a specific sale transaction has not yet been agreed.
