Two returns, one coordinated position.
File in both the US and the UK and the same income can be looked at twice. The US–UK treaty and foreign tax credits are what stop it being taxed twice — but only when both returns are prepared to agree with each other.
Two firms, two returns, two chances to clash
When separate advisers prepare each side in isolation, credits get missed, timing mismatches create double tax that shouldn't exist, and a treaty position on one return doesn't match the other. One team preparing both is what keeps the numbers — and the positions — consistent.
Both sides, under one roof
Three steps, one team
Map both sides
We line up your income against both systems and find where they would otherwise disagree.
Set the treaty & credit position
We decide where credits belong and which treaty positions to take, documented so they hold up.
File in step
Both returns go out consistent with each other, not stitched together after the fact.
The things clients ask first
Won't I be taxed twice on the same income?
Usually not. Credits and the treaty are designed to prevent it — but they have to be claimed correctly on both returns, which is exactly what coordinated filing does.
The US and UK tax years don't line up — is that a problem?
It can be, and it's a common source of error. Matching income and credits across the mismatched years is part of the job.
Do you take treaty positions?
Where they're appropriate and defensible. Every position is documented so it stands up on either side.
Let's get both returns telling the same story.
A free consultation, no obligation. Tell us where you file and we'll map how the two sides fit together — with a fixed price before any work begins.
