Victoria Goode

I provide employment tax support advising employers and employees (and often partnerships and partners) on the tax and social security implications of their remuneration or termination packages.

More about Employment

I focus on employment tax primarily advising employers on their tax and social security obligations in relation to pay and benefits. My UK-focused work includes advising on salary sacrifice schemes and benefits in kind, employment status and employment termination. I also work with partners, advising on the tax consequences of leaving their partnership. Recent international projects include advising a multi-national company on dual contracts for senior executives; advising an EU company on the income tax and social security consequences of secondees working in the UK; and advising an offshore trust company on its international pension plans.
