It would be impossible to overstate the importance of the decision that took place on 23 June, when the UK electorate voted to end its 43 year membership of the European project.

There are few areas where these effects will be felt more than in tax, which the Leave campaign had held up as being an area the UK will have more freedom.

But, in the immediate aftermath of the vote, it was becoming increasingly apparent that there was little plan about what withdrawal from the EU would mean – far less how to make the most of this apparent freedom around taxes.

And, amid the ensuing political chaos, which has seen the prime minister announce his resignation and a coup against the leader of the opposition, there is even a question mark around whether the UK will leave the EU.
