Joy Svasti-Salee is a member of the CCLS and an international tax strategist with extensive practical experience of advising multinational groups (with parent companies located in the UK, US, and elsewhere) on their international tax affairs.
Whilst continuing to provide advice in practice, Joy became a visiting professorial fellow at Queen Mary, University of London and in 2005 and 2006 took on the responsibility of leading and doing much of the lecturing on the International Tax law course on the LLM Programme. She continues to lecture on a few key subjects.
Joy qualified as both a member of the Institute of Taxation and a member (now a fellow) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales with Thompson and Jenner and Company in Exeter, before moving to London in 1980 to specialise in taxation.
She joined KPMG's tax consultancy practice and in 1990 became a Tax Partner. She was UK Head of International Tax and a core member of KPMG's European Tax Centre for many years, leading the relationship on several major groups and having a significant involvement in resolving international tax problems for global clients generally.
In 2008 she joined Ernst and Young LLP as a Director with a significant involvement in knowledge and innovation. Prior to this she spent three years with Grant Thornton LLP helping them to develop their international tax specialisation and offering to the large corporate market place.
She was joint UK tax reporter for the International Tax Association on the topic 'Conflicts in the Attribution of Income to a Person' in 2007.
She has spoken and written extensively, but largely for the professional services practices for whom she has worked rather than for external publications. She has also been extensively involved in making representations to tax authorities about changes in tax law particularly where they are likely to cause problems in practice.
