Welcome to Steve’s blog
Steve Wood is Barnes Roffe’s Senior Partner and Head of Tax.
To many clients though, he is probably best known as the man who makes tax acceptable, by minimising their exposure to it!
Shen Yap, Partner“Throughout my years of working with Steve, I have continued to be nothing but impressed with his technical prowess (if you have met him before, you will know! He quotes section numbers of tax law!... and if you know me, you will know I have very high standards!).
Crucially, unlike many "tax gurus", Steve talks tax in a way that leaves his audience (clients and colleagues alike) mesmerised - with his delivery, with the supremacy of the ideas, with the practicality of the solutions, with the depth and breadth of his knowledge…”
Steve shares his day to day encounters via this blog and we hope you enjoy reading the case studies as much as we do!
