Navigating tax challenges in the energy sector and beyond.
I have more than 24 years’ Big4 and in-house tax experience, working with multi-national groups, funds and private business, gained in the UK, Australia, Japan, and 10 years in the Middle East.
I give tax advice that is clear and actionable, based on technical and commercial considerations, and on trusted, long-term relationships. I established CoreTax Arabia to focus on this collaborative workspace, and to work with clients who want this relationship with their tax adviser.
Neil Allmark | Founder
Today, I advise heavily on renewable energy projects, helping businesses to incorporate tax considerations into their wider renewable energy investment strategies, including their holding of investments through fund structures and corporate investment holding platforms, to optimise the tax position on asset portfolios across multiple jurisdictions.
Over the past decade I have focused extensively on the tax issues impacting the energy sector, advising on the taxation of oil and gas activities, including many upstream advisory and transaction projects across multiple jurisdictions, as well as advising power and utility businesses on their operational activities, the tax profile of new projects, and the tax position of their investment holding and finance structures.
Real estate taxation and investment structures, including listing multiple real estate investment funds on the Australian Stock Exchange, and advising on global real estate investments across all geographic regions.
Both the international tax aspects of investment holding and funding structures, as well as the tax due diligence of acquisitions and disposals on both the buy-side and the sell-side, including advising on the tax aspects of relevant structuring, funding, and acquisition documents.
Corporate tax compliance and disputes, tax accounting, reporting, and corporate tax strategy for multinational manufacturing groups.
I focus deeply on the commercial drivers and investment criteria, to provide tax advice that reflects the wide range of technical and commercial considerations. I maintain regular dialogue, and challenge untested assumptions, and I aim to build trusted, long-term relationships.
Versatility In Taxation
CoreTax Arabia was established out of a desire to work more extensively in a collaborative, commercial space, and with clients who are seeking this relationship with their tax adviser.
We provide clear and relevant tax advice that allows you to make informed business decisions.
We have a genuine curiosity about how your business operates; we aim to work in partnership with you – on-site or remotely and working in an external adviser capacity or as an extension to your internal tax function – to provide advice that addresses your specific objectives and your key success factors. We build long-term relationships, to be at your side as your business grows and your circumstances evolve.
We have deep technical knowledge and significant international and industry experience, but we are independent, and move with increased agility, to adapt quickly to your changing needs and requests.
Our approach is structured around three clear elements:
Strategy · Planning · Delivery
