Martin Smith

Partner & Head of Sports - Tax

I am a tax partner in the Private Client department and also head up the Sports team. I joined HW Fisher in 2001 as a tax senior.

I manage a large portfolio of over 350 clients across personal tax and limited companies, primarily in the sports and entertainment sector.

My expertise centres around household names in the footballing industry for both UK professional sportspeople and non-UK domiciled individuals. I advise a large number of current Premier League and Championship footballers on all aspects of their tax affairs.

I work alongside specialist sports lawyers, sports agents and IFAs to provide an all-round service, focusing on finding the most tax-efficient solution in this sector.

I deal with a number of partnerships in the property development and legal sectors and advise on all aspects of tax compliance.
