About
Straight answers, from someone who does this every day
Emma advises expats, digital nomads and globally mobile professionals on UK tax: residency, exit and entry planning, returns and voluntary disclosures. She trained at Deloitte from 2019 then founded Global Tax Consulting in 2023 to give people whose lives cross borders a straight answer on what HMRC can still tax.
The work is deliberately narrow. No bookkeeping, no payroll, no company accounts. Just UK tax for internationally mobile individuals. Every return, residency assessment and disclosure is reviewed and signed off by Emma before it is filed or sent to the client.
Emma is a member of the Association of Taxation Technicians and writes for Tax Adviser magazine, the member journal of the CIOT and ATT, including 'US pension lump sums: navigating the Saving Clause’ on the UK/US Double Taxation Agreement. Global Tax Consulting is registered with HMRC as an agent.
With the right advice, international tax doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, some of the biggest opportunities to optimise your tax position arise while you are a global citizen.
