KMPG boosts UK insurance tax team

Accountancy and advisory firm KPMG has strengthened its UK insurance tax team with the appointment of Rob Clayton as a partner.

Clayton most recently served as group tax director at Friends Life and, prior to that, group tax director at RSA.

Until April this year, he was also the chair of the ABI’s tax committee, taking a key role in leading the industry’s response to relevant tax policy issues.

Phil Smart, partner and head of insurance and investment management at KPMG in the UK, said: “Rob brings to us a vast knowledge of tax in the insurance sector, is a highly respected and well known member of the insurance community and has excellent experience of the broader role tax has to play in our clients’ businesses. We are really looking forward to him joining the team as we look to build on the growth of the last two years.”

Clayton added: “After 14 years in industry, I am delighted to be returning to KPMG.  I have very fond memories of my previous time there when I joined as an assistant manager back in 1998 before leaving as a manager in 2001.

“The people in my team were enormously supportive to me and helped me build the foundations of my career in tax. Now that I am rejoining the firm as a partner I am looking forward to supporting the next generation of KPMG tax professionals and building on the great opportunity KPMG has to extend its reach into the insurance sector.”
