Director

Declan O’Connell

Leatherhead Email me Call me

About

I am a Director in the Business Tax Team based in our Leatherhead office and specialise in Large Corporate and International companies. I qualified as a Chartered Tax Advisor in 2018 and achieved a Distinction in the Chartered Institute of Taxation Advisory paper on Owner Managed Businesses.

I act for a diverse range of clients including large corporate groups, companies who trade internationally and are part of an international group, or entities that are Private Equity funded. I have particular experience in advising clients on a wide range of corporation tax services in relation to corporate structuring, capital allowances, corporate interest restriction and cross-border international tax aspects.

Personal

My Favourite Hobbies

I enjoy sports including football and running. I am an avid Liverpool supporter and started running during the first lockdown and have run (albeit slowly) several half-marathons.

Alternative Career choice

I really enjoy cooking so probably a chef with a view of specialising in pizza.
