Corporation Tax specialist joins Grant Thornton

Monday 09 March 2020

Grant Thornton has appointed a new Senior Manager in its Jersey tax team.

Andy Shaw, a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, previously worked at a leading Chartered Accountants and Business Advisory firm in the UK.

Mr Shaw said that he was really excited to be joining Grant Thornton at what he described as a "pivotal time."

“The recent UK property changes from income tax to corporation tax bring a new dimension to investing or trading in the UK, when using Channel Island vehicles," he added.

"The change in legislation also carries new challenges for administrators and clients alike. They include changes to filing dates, payments dates, the interest and penalties regime, the taxation of large corporate groups (in particular in relation to the Corporate Interest Restriction rules) and the taxation of gains, to name but a few. I very much looking forward to helping others make sense of this very important topic.”

Tax Director, Lisa Guy, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Andy to our team. His recent appointment brings our team of tax professionals working across both our Jersey and Guernsey offices to 20. As tax legislation continues to evolve, Andy will play an important role in ensuring Grant Thornton is able to continue to provide the full range of tax advice that our clients require.”

Adam Budworth, Managing Director, added: “Andy’s expertise and experience in taxation will help Grant Thornton remain a world-class business advisor for clients seeking outstanding and innovative solutions to their business challenges."
