The move forms part of a strategic plan to continue growing the firm’s tax advisory propositions across multiple geographies and real estate asset sectors, the firm said last week.
 
Henshaw is an MRICS business rates tax specialist with 13 years of experience in the commercial property industry, most of which she worked as a business rates advisor. She joins Tilney Smith & Williamson from Cushman and Wakefield, a global real estate advisory practice, where she was a partner.
 
“Business rates tax is commonly one of the largest real estate overheads for owners and occupiers of real estate in the UK and I know many of our clients will benefit greatly from Colette’s considerable experience and expertise in this space,” Tom Shave, head of London tax at Tilney Smith & Williamson, said.
 
“Business rates tax is one of the key real estate costs and is becoming more complex in terms of its assessment and challenge. It is key for occupiers and owners of commercial property liable for business rates to seek advice at the earliest opportunity to ensure liabilities are kept to a minimum. With the 2023 business rates revaluation fast approaching on 1 April 2023, now is a crucial time for ratepayers to start to review their current and anticipated liabilities to inform budgeting and alignment with business strategy,” Henshaw said.
