John Brassington

John is based in our Tax department, where he specialises in providing tax advice and planning for personal tax clients while ensuring all personal tax compliance requirements are met. With  many years of experience, he is  well  placed to advise clients on the tax implications of their affairs and identify opportunities to structure their tax more efficiently.

John ‘s experience stretches across many of the direct tax areas, and he is involved in helping clients with not only their personal tax, but also with partnerships, corporate and trust tax needs.

With the ever-changing tax legislation John has found that his in-depth knowledge of his clients helps him be a trusted reference point in their tax affairs.

Away from the office, John enjoys watching almost any sport, although he admits his days of actively participating are now largely behind him.
