Head of Trust & Tax

Melanie Jacobs

Melanie Jacobs HK Law

Melanie is the Head of the Trust and Tax Team based in Dorchester.

I began my career at HK Law as an Office Junior and have progressed within the firm over a period of almost 20 years. I was instrumental in the creation of our specialist Trust and Tax Department and have a wealth of knowledge of the firm as well as being very passionate about the Department and Team that have developed.

I am able to advise Trustees in relation to all aspects of Trust administration including their powers and responsibilities, interpreting Trust Deeds and documentation, changing Trustees, preparing Trust documents and Trust Accounts. Tax can be complex and I can ease that burden for Trustees by advising and assisting in relation to Income Tax, Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax issues affecting Trusts including dealing with any reporting requirements and preparing calculations of any of the taxes that may be due.Following a recent change in reporting requirements for Trusts in relation to HM Revenue and Customs Trust Registration Service, I can support Trustees in understanding the registration process and ongoing reporting requirements.
