Cesca Accounting

Tax and accounting for people living between Britain and Italy

Cesca Accounting is an independent international firm of tax and wealth management advisers. It concentrates on one corridor: individuals and businesses with a life, a company or a family connection in both the United Kingdom and Italy. It says its advisers are based locally in each country, speak both languages and are qualified and regulated in both, so clients do not need to learn another country's rules or travel to get advice.

Cross-border compliance after Brexit

The firm has more than ten years of cross-border experience and built part of its message around Brexit. Since 1 January 2021 the United Kingdom has been a third state from the European Union's point of view, which means different rules apply country by country, set by bilateral arrangements and specialist programmes. Cesca helps clients work through those differences, preparing returns and giving advice that follows both the UK and the Italian system.

The range of work

Its client base includes private individuals and companies, including Italians who live in the UK and UK nationals who live in Italy. Beyond tax compliance, it describes support with legal matters, consultancy, bookkeeping and business process outsourcing run from either side of the border. The wealth management side serves clients who need tax, trust and estate planning across the two countries.

First conversation and wider research

New clients are offered a free introductory session of about twenty minutes with a qualified international tax consultant. The firm also says it is supporting research into a proposal for an alternative form of environmental taxation.
