LTS Tax

What LTS Tax does

LTS Tax Limited is an independent chartered tax advisory and accountancy firm headquartered in St Peter Port, Guernsey, with a registered company number 54292 and approximately 11-50 employees (including 13 Chartered Tax Advisers and 8 ACCA-qualified accountants). Founded in 2012, the firm provides tax advisory and compliance services alongside traditional accountancy services to companies, individuals, trustees, and intermediary/professional firms across Guernsey, Jersey, and the United Kingdom. Core service lines include Guernsey and Jersey tax advice, UK tax advice, relocation tax planning, inheritance tax planning, trust tax advice and compliance (including UK Trust Registration Service work), economic substance and corporate residence advisory, and accountancy/bookkeeping services delivered primarily through direct client relationships.

The firm's distribution model is sales-led, reliant on direct professional relationships and physical office presence in Guernsey and Jersey (a new permanent Jersey office at Titan House, Liberation Square, St Helier opened in May 2026), with on-island professionals delivering face-to-face and remote services. Revenue is generated through professional services billing against engagement-based fees, with services organized by jurisdiction (Guernsey, Jersey, UK) and topic (tax advisory, tax compliance, accountancy). The technology stack is light: Xero (Bronze Partner status) is used for client financial statement preparation, and the firm publishes informational insights and factsheets via its website as top-of-funnel content marketing. There is no proprietary software platform, app, or API product; the underlying asset is the qualified human advisory team rather than a technology layer.

LTS Tax holds CIOT (Chartered Institute of Taxation) member firm status and self-describes as the largest independent taxation services company in Guernsey. The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent company, no outside equity investors, and no funding rounds; ownership and control appear to remain with founders and senior practitioners. Recent strategic activity has centered on geographic expansion into Jersey (May 2026), leadership appointment of Harry Malet de Carteret as Managing Director to lead the expansion, and internal promotion cycles — consistent with organic, internally-financed growth in a niche professional services market.
