Jennifer Smithson, partner at Macfarlanes in the UK, will be presenting the second evening lecture of the STEP Lecture Series 2017/18, sponsored by Mourant Ozannes, on 11 October at St James.
The session will examine the changes to the UK taxation of non-UK domiciled individuals, including the introduction of a revised deemed domicile rule, trust protections, the rebasing and mixed fund segregation opportunity, as well as further proposed changes to be introduced with effect from 6 April 2018.
Previous lectures in the 2017/18 Series have discussed beneficial ownership in Guernsey and the advisory sector's relationship with philanthropy.
Jennifer Smithson advises on all areas of personal tax and succession planning at Macfarlanes with a particular emphasis on cross-border tax planning, especially with a US or French aspect. Jennifer also advises on the establishment and management of international asset-holding structures, has experience in planning for entrepreneurs and senior executives, and regularly advises clients in relation to complex HMRC enquiries.
Partner at Mourant Ozannes and member of the STEP Guernsey branch committee, Matthew Guthrie, said: "We are very pleased to welcome Jennifer back to Guernsey to discuss a very relevant topic for all those in the fiduciary industry in Guernsey. This seminar will give our business community a chance to gain a better understanding of the imminent changes and hear from one of the UK's leading tax lawyers."
