Maintain a calendar of immigration events, including renewals, absence limits, and registrations, and control execution by immigration providers. Wealth Structuring Analyze the tax treatment of personal holding and investment structures, including companies, funds, foundations, and trusts, and recommend changes where a structure creates risk.

Advisor Management Select local tax and immigration advisors, brief them on a need-to-know basis, and control scope, deadlines, and fees.

What we expect from you: Ability to determine a client’s tax residency and plan a change of residence by applying day-count and centre-of-vital-interests tests, split-year rules, exit-tax provisions, and treaty tie-breakers, as well as establishing the safe date and sequence of a move. Ability to structure how an individual receives income across jurisdictions, including dividends, capital gains, fund distributions, and related-party loans, and calculate the after-tax outcome of each option. Experience securing and maintaining special regimes for new residents and non-doms, such as Cyprus non-dom, Malta, Polish lump-sum, UK FIG, or equivalents, including eligibility assessment, elections, and monitoring conditions that could lead to loss of status. Ability to assess and manage CFC, GAAR, and anti-avoidance exposure of individuals holding foreign companies, and plan the orderly wind-down of dormant entities without triggering tax. Experience analyzing the tax treatment of private structures such as foundations, trusts, personal holding companies, and similar vehicles, including the taxation of beneficiaries and distributions, and recommending changes where a structure creates risk. Ability to design a relocation route at global-mobility-advisor level, including selecting the permit or programme type, sequencing immigration and tax steps, identifying presence and integration requirements, and briefing and supervising immigration providers.
