Background

About Laurence Binge

I am a Director of Dixcart International Limited in the UK. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1985 and before joining the Dixcart Group in 1992, I spent six years in general practice. My main area of expertise is advising on family and corporate governance, family office and wealth management issues including asset protection and wealth preservation. I advise clients on the taxation of non-UK domiciliaries, both resident in, or coming to, the UK, as well as UK resident individuals looking to move abroad. I am on the Board of a number of client companies, where my general commercial and tax knowledge is highly valued. I am a Director on a dozen hospitality related companies and, through Dixcart International Limited, I provide UK Director services to several clients. Over the years, I have become the trusted advisor to a number of international clients and their families. My advice to all of my clients is: “The most important thing is to have the right structure in place to make a business work. If you are not in the right place at the right time, with the right team, there may well be no profits to worry about taxing.” During my time at Dixcart, I have assisted with the establishment and management of a number of the Dixcart offices, particularly Malta and the Isle of Man, and I frequently visit all of the offices across the Group. I also often travel to India and South Africa, in particular, where many of my current clients are based. In my spare time I enjoy nothing more than cooking for, and sharing a meal, with friends and family. I also enjoy playing Association Croquet which I do often maintain is one of the most self-serving unsporting games ever played, requiring ruthless meanness and ungenerosity of spirit towards one’s opponent – a perfect way to unwind!
