Simon Crookston

Partner, Corporate Tax
Kent

I am a Tax Partner in the Kent offices and Head of Corporate Tax.

I advise business owners, entrepreneurs, and global groups on how to structure and manage their tax affairs.  My approach is to provide practical, commercial and pragmatic solutions to enable my clients to meet their objectives.

My work includes advising on restructuring, acquisitions and disposals, international expansion, tax risk, compliance matters and the resolution of HMRC enquiries and disputes.

I joined Crowe in 2012 and became a Partner in April 2016 and have over 25 years’ experience of providing advice to a diverse range of clients.

I speak regularly at our in-house seminars and contribute to Crowe’s tax briefings and publications.

I also lead the firms Crowe Ability Network (CAN) which ensures that those living with neurodiverse conditions, disabilities, impairments and long-term health conditions are supported, recognised and valued, enabling people of all abilities to reach their full potential.
