Cross-border tax, accounting
and corporate advisory.
Italy and the UK,
from one firm.
The corridor
Built on the
Italy–UK corridor.
For Italian businesses entering UK, Italian families with UK exposure, and corporate groups operating across both jurisdictions, the work is rarely just compliance. It is structural.
Tax residency, holding structures, governance, and succession planning sit differently in Milan than they do in London. Getting them right early saves years of remediation later — and that is the work SGS does best.
- i.Cross-border tax planning and corporate structuring
- ii.International tax — transfer pricing, VAT, treaty positions
- iii.Private client work for residents, non-doms and Italian families
- iv.Family business governance and intergenerational succession
- v.Corporate set-up, audit and ongoing financial reporting
Beyond the corridor
Four offices,
one practice.
Italy–UK is the spine. London, Lugano, Dublin and Abu Dhabi sit alongside it because cross-border work rarely stays within two jurisdictions. Each office offers the same independent advisory under the same partnership.
London
United Kingdom
Group headquarters. UK tax, legal and corporate advisory.
Lugano
Switzerland
Swiss tax, wealth structuring and banking-adjacent advisory.
Dublin
Republic of Ireland
Corporate and fund structuring from inside the EU.
Abu Dhabi
United Arab Emirates
Gulf private wealth, corporate and free-zone structuring.

Speak with a partner
A conversation,
not a pitch.
Most of our work begins with a private conversation about a specific corridor question — a restructuring, a move, a succession, a transaction. Reach out directly to the London office and a partner will respond.
