George Burnie
Partner

George qualified as a CA in 1972 and had been a tax partner for many years with an international accountancy practice before he joined Ritson Smith in 2002.

One of the country’s leading tax specialists, George has worked with owner-managed businesses for over thirty years dispensing advice on all aspects of taxation including:
  • Corporation tax
  • Income tax
  • Capital gains tax
  • VAT
  • Inheritance tax
  • Stamp duty land tax
George also has extensive experience in corporate finance, and has worked on a number of major acquisitions, sales and reconstructions, including one over £100 million in value.

“The key to successful tax planning is to be innovative,” he argues. “Sometimes it may be necessary to challenge conventional accounting standards to achieve a successful solution.”

George follows most sports and, together with his wife Pat, runs a horse stud farm specialising in prize-winning Welsh cobs.
