David Knight

David was appointed as our in-house UK tax counsel in 2015 . He is a qualified chartered tax advisor, accountant and Trust and Estate Practitioner (STEP) and has specialised in private client tax advice and trust work for over 25 years. He spent 12 years living in the Channel Islands working as a client services director for the largest independent trust company in the Islands and then as a Tax Director with a ‘Big Four’ accountancy firm. David has significant experience in guiding trustees and individuals through the complex UK tax legislation. He also offers advice on how to make those structures more robust and tax efficient from a UK tax perspective, this is especially important following the introduction of automatic exchange of information under the Common Reporting Standard and with which he is very familiar.
