Tax leadership changes at KPMG

Tuesday 14 June 2022

KPMG has appointed two new Heads of Tax across the Crown Dependencies.

Partner John Riva is moving to a new role as Head of Tax with the KPMG Islands Group (KIG), and Tony Mancini is taking on the position of Head of Tax for the entire Crown Dependencies firm.

Mr Riva's move coincides with his 25th anniversary of being a partner with KPMG.

Mr Mancini will assume ultimate responsibility for the tax function across the whole of the Crown Dependencies. From his base in the Guernsey office, he will be responsible for driving the firm’s tax strategy.

Paul Eastwood will take on full responsibility of the Jersey tax operations. Paul has been advising on tax matters since 1998 in a mixture of roles and was previously the Deputy Comptroller of Taxes for Jersey, with responsibility for domestic tax policy and international tax matters.

In the Isle of Man, Robert Rotherham continues in his role as Tax Partner, leading the local tax team.

Mr Riva said: “With Tony at the helm of the Crown Dependencies tax function, and Paul and Rob leading the Jersey and Isle of Man operations respectively, the team is well placed to continue to grow and play an important part in executing KPMG Global’s Collective Strategy. I wish the whole tax team all the very best for the future”.

Mr Mancini added: “This is an extremely interesting time for everyone in tax, with continued OECD initiatives and increased compliance regulations affecting the islands. Our clients may be concerned about these possible changes and we are in a great position to help them understand what it may mean to them. I’m excited at taking on the new role and playing a leading part in the future growth of the firm."
