Tax

Tax shapes every business decision. When understood strategically, it becomes a driver of value rather than a compliance burden.

At Napier Sterling, we deliver practical, commercially driven tax advice that helps clients manage risk, enhance efficiency, and achieve sustainable growth.

Key Services

We advise across a wide range of tax matters, including:

  • Corporate Transactions

    Delivering tax-efficient structuring and implementation for mergers, acquisitions, private equity investments, and corporate reorganisations. Our approach ensures transactions are aligned with commercial objectives while minimising tax risk.

  • Real Estate Transactions

    Advising on the tax aspects of acquisitions, disposals, investments, and developments across the real estate sector. We focus on optimising tax efficiency, mitigating risk, and supporting clients through every stage of the transaction lifecycle.

  • Sports

    Advising investors, clubs, players, and agents on the UK tax treatment of their commercial arrangements.

  • Tax Disputes

    Representing businesses and individuals in all stages of engagement with HMRC and other tax authorities – from technical enquiries and settlements to complex appeals. We focus on achieving efficient, practical resolutions through both negotiation and alternative dispute resolution.
