Anthony Reeves

Overview

I am a Senior Associate in Michelmores’ Corporate team, specialising in Corporate Tax. A fair amount of my work involves advising on transactional tax issues alongside the Corporate or Real Estate teams, though I also advise on reorganisations and structuring, employee incentives and real estate tax issues such as SDLT and VAT.

I advise clients on tax efficient investment such as under the EIS and SEIS schemes, as well as on employment tax issues including the IR35 rules. I am also a Chartered Tax Adviser and a member of the Stamp Taxes Practitioners Group.
