American Tax Returns Ltd is a leading firm of dually US and UK qualified tax advisers which prepares both US and UK tax returns and provides sensible practical “joined-up” American and British tax advice; all for a simple fee agreed before starting. The firm is led by David Treitel, one of the best known dually US and UK qualified tax advisers in the UK who serves at committee level with both the ICAEW and the CIOT, the UKs leading professional accounting and tax bodies.
Clients include people from all walks of life where there is an American connection. The kind of people we take care of is truly diverse ranging from academics, entrepreneurs and expatriate employees to those of independent wealth as well as many who are now retired but find that tax has never quite gone away! While most of our clients are up to date, we can and do frequently handle any worries that come from being behind with tax returns.
We specialise in helping make US and UK tax easily understandable for those in the UK. Tax returns can be complicated, confusing, time-intensive and even a tiny bit scary. With over thirty years of practical experience there are simply no forms that we won’t help you to complete, no questions that we can’t answer and no tax that we can’t help you save. No wonder we are often called “the tax expert’s expert”!

Genuine request!
While blogging is often fun; this is actually a genuine request for opinions. Truly!
It remains vital for all UK advisers to identify US persons before giving advice as many standard UK tax planning techniques can be "toxic" when there is a US person involved.
I am deeply involved in FATCA and the IGA at a central policy level and spend a great deal of my time these days simply advising accountants and tax advisers on how to become "US friendly". This is not a difficult skill to learn; but in this new universe where all governments and tax authorities are cracking down on tax evasion it is compulsory for each of us to learn which of our clients are American, what FATCA is and what the next steps are we should each be taking.
