"When I took my first overseas position in January 2004 I found dealing with my tax situation via Xpatria a very professional, speedy process. After an initial consultation in the UK, efficient contact via e-mail followed. It was probably one of the most straightforward parts of the move. I will continue using Xpatria for my annual tax return."
Chris King, Dubai
"I have been using Suzanne Stubbings of Xpatria for a while now for our personal tax as well as for a few special pieces of work. I have found my dealings with her to have been very professional at all times, and she has been pro-active in providing me with information and options particular to my circumstances. One of the things that I like about the working relationship with Suzanne is that she gets back to you promptly if you leave her a message or send her an e-mail. I have not had to chase her for anything - in fact, she tends to do more of the chasing when she needs information from me. I found her advice in respect of domicile, international and off-shore investments and local investment property to be comprehensive and articulate and am comfortable that the options presented to me were able to offset the cost of the service. I have no hesitation in recommending her."
Mark Buckle, UK
"Xpatria provided me with very timely and reliable advice on tax matters which covered areas including advice on the implications of a move overseas, and renting of UK property. I was very impressed with the level of detail of the service provided and the high quality of the ongoing support throughout the financial year."
Laurie, Management Consultant, London
"I was recommended to Xpatria by a friend of mine and I have engaged Xpatria to deal with my UK tax affairs. They prepare my tax return and claim tax relief for days I spend working outside the UK. This gave me a tax refund last year. They also advise on the level of my tax withholding and whether this will be sufficient to meet my year end tax liability. I am very happy with the service Xpatria provides. I would also add that you are very commercial and you know how to translate complex tax issues into simple advice that is easy to understand."
Kai Romberg, Investment Executive, HgCapital
"Su from Xpatria was a pleasure to work with. Quick replies, simple and sensible answers to our tax concerns, and a warm, positive, professional attitude that came through in email and on the 'phone. Made last minute tax returns for UK income while we live in the US far easier than anticipated."
Simon Lindsay
"I recently left Glasgow to take up a new position in Sumatra Indonesia. I knew I would need help sorting out my tax affairs so did a search on the web and decided to give Xpatria a call. I found them to be very helpful, knowledgeable and efficient - ie phoned back when they said they would and sent all required communication promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to any expat or person requiring advice on taxation issues."
Stephen O'Brien, Fluor Daniel Indonesia
"I was referred to Xpatria by PWC. Xpatria prepared my tax return and claimed tax relief on my overseas pension contributions and on my accommodation, travel and subsistence expenses. This resulted in a sizeable UK tax refund for me. Xpatria also followed up after they had prepared my tax return, notifying me of when my refund would be issued and where it would be paid. Having worked with tax advisers for 4 years, I can assure you that this is not very common practice. I therefore appreciate it even more. Many thanks for your help and your professionalism."
Sandra Filipczak
"I received a fast, friendly and professional service, at a realistic, affordable price."
Bernard Carney
"The service provided by Xpatria is efficient, accurate and personable from start to finish. It was a real pleasure not to have to chase things up, with everything happening in a timely and efficient manner. The advice related to temporary relocation to the USA and the tax implications, along with the comprehensive support of various Xpatria partners in the US made the whole process much less painful than it might otherwise have been.”
Dairsie Latimer, ClearSpeed plc
"After having collaborated with PWC on my first UK tax return 2 years ago, I started working with Suzanne Stubbings from Xpatria. As a foreigner and non tax specialist I find her advice and support very useful. She managed to provide me with a very good service both in terms of quality and timing at a reasonable cost. I am very pleased with the choice I have made and have already recommended Xpatria to two of my colleagues at work."
Renaud Thiers, International Regional Manager, London.
"When I decided to take up a job offer in the Middle East, my biggest concern was the tax implication. Being a novice in this area I knew I would need professional help and contacted Xpatria on a friend’s recommendation. The service provided by Suzanne has been superb with simple, clear information, practical advice and a great initial consultation. Xpatria gave me the confidence to take that overseas step and has always been there if I have needed more help or answers to ad-hoc questions. My emails are answered quickly and with the same clear, straightforward approach. Xpatria offers a remarkably efficient and pain-free service at a sensible price and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone considering working abroad."
JC, Bahrain.
"We engaged Xpatria to prepare our tax returns when we returned to live in the UK for short time. They succeeded in obtaining a significant tax refund for Jessica. They helped us to file the proper forms to claim non-UK domicile status, which protects our non-UK income from UK tax. Xpatria have also provided valuable tax advice on the income and capital gains tax implications of letting our UK property. We're both very happy with the service and would not hesitate to recommend Xpatria to others."
Jessica Mills, aQuantive and Soren Mills
"Suzanne Stubbings at Xpatria was a pleasure to work with on my UK taxes. The materials she provided were very straightforward and easy to navigate and she provided clear answers to all of my questions. I was very impressed with how quickly Suzanne responded to all of my queries and with how quickly my return was completed. I look forward to continuing to work with Xpatria in the future."
Jeff Iverson
"At the moment when I was confronted with urgent and complicated taxation matters, involving a foreign employment contract, mismanaged tax-equalization and missed payment deadlines, Suzanne Stubbings from Xpatria did everything required to assist me with a situational analysis and to provide with the answers needed to make the right decisions. She never missed any deadline and did a truly stellar job."
Jack Elands, UK
