Added value services

US tax compliance

Relevant US persons (those with a US passport, Green Card or born in the US) are required to submit an annual US tax return wherever they reside, with few exceptions. In addition, US persons resident abroad are required to submit an annual form in respect of foreign financial accounts they own or have control over.
Shaw Gibbs, working with a carefully selected IRS registered preparer, is able to assist US persons resident in the UK in becoming compliant with their annual filings and remaining US compliant, without incurring late filing penalties.
