Residency, Mobility & Tax Position
Jurisdictional repositioning with legal clarity and fiscal discipline.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Residency is not a change of address. It is a deliberate legal and fiscal repositioning — one that alters reporting obligations, tax exposure, treaty access, and the long-term defensibility of a principal's capital architecture.
We approach residency as a structural decision, not an administrative process. Each engagement begins with a complete picture of the client's existing position — assets, income flows, corporate structures, and jurisdictional exposure — and produces a strategy that is legally sound, fiscally coherent, and durable under regulatory scrutiny.
01 — STRATEGIC RELOCATION PLANNING
Mapping the full picture before any application is filed.
Effective relocation planning begins well before a jurisdiction is selected. We analyse the client's global footprint across all dimensions — personal, corporate, and capital — to determine the jurisdictional configuration that best serves their long-term objectives.
Scope of advisory:
– Multi-jurisdictional tax assessment and pre-migration structural review
– Asset location analysis and pre-migration realignment
– Integration of personal residency with corporate and investment structures
– Exit tax analysis and sequencing of structural steps
02 — RESIDEBCY PROGRAMME ADVISORY
Selective jurisdictions. Defensible structures. Long-term stability.
We advise on residency programmes across European jurisdictions where legal stability, tax integrity, and long-term defensibility are demonstrable. Programmes are selected on the basis of regulatory substance and sustainability — not speed or marketing appeal.
Core jurisdictions advised:
– Italy — Elective Residency and Lump-Sum Tax Regime
– Malta — Permanent Residency Programme (MPRP) and Global Residence Programme (GRP)
– Switzerland — Lump-Sum Tax (Forfait Fiscal) and standard residency structuring
– United Kingdom — Business and returning-resident structuring
Our process:
– Preparation of financial documentation and source-of-wealth substantiation
– Coordination with immigration counsel, tax authorities, and local advisors
– Integration with banking, fiduciary, and asset anchoring requirements
– Ongoing compliance alignment with CRS, FATCA, and reporting obligations
03 — TAX RESIDENCY STRUCTURING & COMPLIANCE
Establishing and maintaining a defensible fiscal position.
Achieving residency is the beginning of the structural work, not the end. The critical challenge lies in maintaining a defensible tax residency position — one that withstands OECD substance review, preserves treaty access, and avoids double taxation across the client's full capital architecture.
Advisory covers:
– Tax domicile determination and tie-breaker analysis under OECD standards
– Application of double-taxation treaties and exit tax mitigation
– Cross-border income and capital gain positioning for corporate principals
– CRS and FATCA alignment across banking and reporting relationships
– Annual review and ongoing defensibility coordination with legal and tax partners
04 — INTEGRATION WITH CAPITAL ARCHITECTURE
Residency as part of a coherent ownership structure.
Residency planning is effective only when synchronised with the client's wider capital architecture. A change in personal tax residency that is not reflected in the ownership and governance of underlying structures creates compliance risk and structural inefficiency.
We integrate residency solutions with:
– Holding company and corporate ownership structures
– Fund management entities and investment vehicles
– Succession and inheritance frameworks under civil and common law regimes
– Banking relationships and capital flow architecture
