Lynnette Bober, Tom Le Santo and Manoj Synghal

UK legal and professional services firm Gateley has launched a private client tax service for high net worth (HNW) and ultra-high net worth individuals.

It will provide tax planning, wealth structuring and compliance services for HNW individuals.

The service includes self-assessment tax return preparation, managing the taxation requirements of crypto assets, as well as preparing clients for future taxation needs.

In addition, the Gateley tax team has experience in engaging with HMRC on behalf of clients.

This ranges from disclosing tax irregularities, under one of the HMRC disclosure facilities (or otherwise), to acting for the taxpayer in enquiry work or more serious investigations.

Lynnette Bober, tax director at Gateley, said: “Compliance with tax rules and regulations has become increasingly important in recent years, so we are delighted to be able to offer clients a destination for all their taxation needs.

“With taxation continuing to become increasingly complex, there is more reason than ever why high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth taxpayers need specialist assistance with their tax compliance.”

Meanwhile, Gateley expanded its tax team with two new hires.

Tom Le Santo has joined as a senior tax manager from Evelyn Partners where he was also a senior tax manager for just over six years.

Additionally, Manoj Synghal has been appointed as a tax consultant and joins from EY Frank Hirth, where he was an assistant manager in its private client team for nearly eight years.

Ms Bober continued: “The addition of both Tom and Manoj and the vast experience they bring means that we are in a position to offer our diverse client base a fully integrated, personal service through our new offering - allowing us to deal with all our private clients’ legal and tax needs under one roof.”
