The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers

Lord Mayor’s Briefing Group

Court Assistant Stephen Hodgson was privileged to chair a meeting of the Lord Mayor’s Briefing Group at Mansion House. The Group is a diverse range of tax experts charged with briefing the The Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor of the City of London on current and emerging UK and international tax issues as he embarks on 12 months of travel to promote the City of London Corporation and UK financial and professional services around the world.

Topics included last week’s UK Autumn Statement, the OECD Global Minimum Corporate Tax, the UK government’s consultation on sovereign immunity, the UK non-domicile regime, UK tax competitiveness, and the impact of Brexit on the UK tax system.

Throughout his year in office, we will continue to provide the Lord Mayor and his team with up-to-date tax briefings as he meets business leaders, politicians, and officials throughout the UK and overseas.

A huge thank you to all the exceptionally talented members of the briefing group for their time and wisdom.
