In a period of global tax transformation, EY has appointed a highly experienced tax professional to its Channel Islands trust and private client team.
Joining as a senior tax manager, Dan Collins will be primarily focused on providing UK and International tax advice to trustees and individuals. The appointment is part of EY’s Channel Islands’ growth strategy, building on its successful trust and private client practice.
Mr Collins has a wealth of experience as a chartered tax advisor working for international professional services firms for the past 13 years including eight years in Guernsey in a ‘Big 4’ environment.
Throughout his career Mr Collins has worked closely with a number of high net worth clients. He will bring his considerable experience to bear in offering domestic and cross-border tax planning. He will also be involved in the management and development of the Guernsey tax team to continue the firm’s delivery of exceptional client service to its growing client base.
Mr Collins said: “EY is a progressive, insightful firm offering clear, integrated and tailored services to an impressive portfolio of clients. It is an interesting time and I am looking forward to working with individuals and fiduciaries eager to develop bespoke, tax-effective structures and strategies in the current evolving tax landscape.”
David White, EY’s Head of Tax in Guernsey, said: “This is an important time for trustees and private clients in the run up to UK tax changes from April 2017 and Dan’s expertise is a welcome addition to our thriving trust and private client tax practice. His leadership skills will help drive this growing area for the firm which will benefit our clients enormously.”
