Election campaigning has started in earnest in the UK and USA. Following years of turbulence across the world, there is little faith in polls and how elections will be won. This has put taxes into the limelight with the potential for changing parties and changing views. There is also a continued finger pointing at ‘the wealthy’, whether right or wrong, which is putting them in the frame for targeted tax increases to appease the public sentiment.

Currency fluctuations are making it good for international trophy asset purchases in the UK, which is causing an influx of money looking for currency bargains. Additionally, this economic difficulty across the world, caused by energy price surges, has seen economic restrictions that mean governments will have little choice but to raise taxes. As we continue to globalise, with Greece, Italy and Malta in line to be beneficiaries as UHNW clients consider their options, the global aspect of tax is becoming an even more prevalent consideration.

Utilising more than a decade of research from our Leaders List and editorial output, Citywealth has compiled a list of top tax professionals across the world. A network that comes highly recommended by our community private wealth community, we highlight the tax advisors with succession, compliance and ESG factors in mind.
