Global Compliance

Vast expertise. An exclusive environment.

Sanctoras provides comprehensive tax, accounting and compliance services for private clients, businesses and family offices operating across borders.

At Sanctoras, we do things differently.

Our team combines highly qualified and experienced tax advisors, accountants and international specialists who work together to ensure you meet every deadline, obligation and opportunity, without any unnecessary surprises.

Between the Sanctoras team in each of our permanent locations – the UK, Dubai and Abu Dhabi – we’re members of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, the Association of Tax Technicians, Chartered Accountants Ireland, the Irish Tax Institute and the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners. We’re also qualified in UAE Corporate Tax, as well as in family business advisory from the Family Firm Institute. Between us we’ve worked at all of the global ‘Big Four’ professional services firms and five of the UK top 10 – in other words, you’re in very safe and knowledgeable hands!

We support clients with personal and corporate filings, international tax compliance, FATCA and CRS reporting, VAT and audit requirements. But more than that, we deliver strategic insight into how evolving tax legislation interacts with wider structuring, investment and business decisions.

Many of our clients have dual tax residence, offshore structures and global footprints. We take a proactive approach to identifying and managing compliance risk, making sure you stay on the front foot.
