Basil Dixon
Spear's Review
Basil Dixon advises UHNWs and expatriates on UK tax, succession planning and cross-border wealth structuring. ‘The big theme right now is my non-dom clients moving out of the UK,’ he explains. ‘A lot of other work has centred around people gifting, working out what they can do, what they can’t do, what the tax cost will be.’
He describes the private client landscape as defined by flux. ‘Uncertainty is definitely the one thing that’s permeated the private client landscape,’ he says. For many clients, that unpredictability drives early, careful planning, particularly around gifts and estates.
Dixon enjoys the analytical and problem-solving side of his work. ‘It’s just super hard for clients at the moment to plan or to know where they’re standing with the government changing its mind every week,’ he notes. His focus is then on helping clients navigate this complexity with confidence, and turning uncertainty into an actionable strategy.
