Corporate, personal and international tax — from compliance and reorganisations to HMRC clearances, R&D, trusts and cross-border structuring.
Start a conversationTax at MEN is a full core discipline, integrated with strategy, finance, transactions, accounting, private capital, real estate and international work — not a narrow compliance service sitting beneath consulting. The aim is to understand the tax consequences of a decision before it is made, manage compliance and risk as part of a wider tax position, and coordinate domestic and cross-border matters as one coherent picture rather than a set of separate filings.
Start with the issue, not the department.
For individuals and families based outside the UK with UK tax, property or investment obligations, MEN also provides a dedicated International Clients route.
International Clients & Non-UK ResidentsCorporation tax computations, returns and related compliance, managed accurately and within the applicable filing and payment framework.
Advising on the tax treatment of corporate decisions before they're made, not after.
VAT registration, returns and advisory work, including partial exemption and complex VAT positions.
Preparing personal tax returns while considering the wider income, gains and relief position behind the annual filing.
Advising on CGT before a disposal, not calculating it after one.
Employment taxes, PAYE, NIC and benefits-in-kind reporting, kept accurate and current.
Advising on employment-related securities and tax-advantaged arrangements including EMI, EIS and SEIS, together with the associated reporting and compliance.
Assessing eligibility for innovation reliefs, preparing the supporting tax position and managing the associated compliance.
Tax structuring and international tax are treated as a strategic discipline at MEN, not a compliance afterthought — because decisions made at the point a structure or transaction is created can have long-lasting tax consequences.
Planning how tax flows through a group structure, not just how each entity reports it.
Making sure losses and reliefs are used where they actually create value across a group.
Reorganising ownership and group structures with the tax consequences worked through in advance.
Preparing and managing HMRC clearance applications where advance confirmation is available, before a transaction or reorganisation proceeds.
Working through the tax consequences of a transaction as the structure is being decided.
Identifying and assessing tax exposures, compliance issues and structural risks in a transaction before they transfer with the business.
Structuring cross-border affairs coherently, rather than jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
Advising on treaty positions, cross-border taxing rights and transfer-pricing requirements across international groups and arrangements.
Advising on offshore entities from a UK tax perspective, and on the tax position of internationally mobile people.
Private client and property tax are treated as part of the same discipline as corporate tax at MEN, not a separate practice — because family, ownership and property structures usually sit alongside a business, not apart from it.
Planning for IHT as part of a wider ownership and succession position, not in isolation.
Advising on the tax position of trusts as part of a family's wider structure.
Handling the tax position of partnerships and LLPs correctly, including profit allocations.
Structuring and maintaining family investment companies as a long-term ownership vehicle.
Advising on UK residence, the Foreign Income and Gains regime and the wider UK tax position of internationally connected individuals.
Managing the UK tax position of landlords based outside the UK.
Structuring property ownership and transactions around the tax consequences that follow.
Identifying and claiming the capital allowances a property or business is entitled to.
MEN combines HMRC engagement, tax governance, managed compliance and specialist tax work around the wider tax position — bringing together technical analysis, process, documentation and control rather than treating each as an isolated workstream.
Managing HMRC enquiries and investigations, from initial contact through to resolution.
Bringing historic tax positions up to date through appropriate disclosure to HMRC, with the position established and documented before engagement with the authority.
Building the governance and controls a growing or complex tax position requires.
Redesigning how tax data and processes work, not just how returns are filed.
Running ongoing tax compliance as an outsourced, managed function.
Advising charities and not-for-profits on the tax position specific to their structure.
Handling stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax on relevant transactions.
A transaction, reorganisation or new structure is being planned and its tax consequences haven't been worked through yet.
Compliance is up to date, but nobody has stepped back to look at the wider tax position.
A family, trust or property structure has grown more complex than the tax planning behind it.
An international element — residence, cross-border income, or an overseas entity — needs a coordinated tax position, not a one-off answer.
HMRC has opened an enquiry, or a historic position needs to be brought up to date voluntarily.
Tax rarely stands alone. A structuring decision has tax consequences; a transaction depends on the tax position being worked through in time; accurate accounting underpins accurate compliance. MEN treats the disciplines below as one team around the tax position, not a sequence of separate engagements:
Testing strategic and structural decisions against the tax position they create, before they're made.
Keeping tax and financial reporting consistent with each other, not reconciled after the fact.
Working through the tax consequences of a transaction as its structure is being decided.
Keeping the accounting records tax compliance and planning actually depend on.
Building tax governance and controls into the wider governance framework, not as a separate silo.
Applying tax technology and process automation where it genuinely improves accuracy and control, where relevant.
Tax planning for family enterprises and private capital structured around succession and long-term ownership, not just annual compliance.
Property tax, SDLT and ATED handled as part of a portfolio's wider structure and transactions.
International tax coordinated across a business or family's affairs wherever they operate, rather than treated as a separate department.
