International Tax  Principles and Pillar 2 (The Global Corporate Minimum Tax Rate)

Redcliffe's International Tax Principles and Pillar 2 Training are led by an accomplished tax professional and Director of a specialist consultancy firm focusing on taxation, share schemes, and reward strategies. He has designed bespoke share scheme services for SMEs and offers high-level advisory services to FTSE-listed companies on matters of communication and taxation. His expertise spans the full spectrum of direct taxation, with a keen interest in employment taxation and transfer pricing—both of which present complex, conceptual challenges.

Our expert trainer is uniquely equipped to address the regulatory and legislative nuances of international taxation, drawing from years of hands-on experience. It is this invaluable experience that informs his comprehensive international tax training sessions.

With nearly nine years at Henderson leading the Share Schemes team, he gained extensive international taxation experience and earned a CIPD Level 7 Masters. Previously, at AMP, he helped develop one of the UK’s first Share Incentive Plans (SIP), prompting HMRC to consult him on encouraging wider adoption.

With a 16-year career in taxation, the trainer has held senior positions at three of the "Big Four" firms, ultimately becoming a Senior Manager at Deloitte. His expertise spans profit-related pay, expatriate tax, share schemes, reward management, US taxation, and corporate tax.

When our distinguished trainer is not delivering expert tax courses and international taxation training, he enjoys cricket, history, skiing, tennis, and gardening. His passion for history also translates into giving lectures, where he keeps his presentation skills sharp, up-to-date and engaging.

This international tax training course is designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in the principles of international taxation, alongside an in-depth understanding of the developments under Pillar 2.

They will gain the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the evolving international tax landscape.
