International Tax - A Practical Update for UK Advisors

Introduction

This update distils the most consequential international tax developments for UK-facing practitioners. The focus is on what has changed in day-to-day advisory and compliance - how current guidance interacts with treaty anti-abuse norms, where authorities are concentrating audit effort, and what documentation now makes the critical difference.

The webinar is practical and case-driven, highlighting the issues accountants tax managers and in-house finance teams encounter most when preparing returns, drafting claims, or signing off structures.

What You Will Learn

On completion of this webinar, you will be able to:

• Identify the international developments most likely to affect UK taxpayers in the next filing cycle
• Translate policy changes into concrete filing and documentation steps (what to keep on file, for how long, and why)
• Understand current themes in treaty interpretation (beneficial owner, principal purpose test, limitation on benefits) and how to evidence commercial rationale
• Assess permanent establishment risk for remote or mobile teams and align the narrative with transfer pricing and substance
• Refresh hybrid mismatch awareness and spot common ‘imported’ effects that still surface in treasury flows
• Recognise where withholding tax procedures are tightening and how to prepare relief-at-source files that pass scrutiny
• Navigate dispute-prevention tools (rulings, APAs, MAP readiness) and when each is worth the cost
• Build a simple review checklist to triage clients by risk and allocate effort accordingly
• Prepare a short ‘client explainer’ you can reuse to brief finance teams on the implications
• Leave with a month-one action list for updating templates, controls and internal playbooks
