World Tax Services UK (WTS UK), an advisory practice specialising in non-audit tax services, has named Sharmila Sanmugam as a partner.

Sanmugam will head the expansion of the company's international tax division.

She has more than 15 years of experience in both in-house and advisory roles, with expertise in global tax compliance, tax governance, transfer pricing, indirect taxes and multinational tax transformation.

WTS UK founder and CEO Jeff Soar said: "We are excited to welcome Sharmila to the firm.

"Her experience across in-house and advisory roles, together with her deep understanding of international tax and global compliance, will be invaluable – both to our clients and to our team, as we continue to build a firm that delivers tax advice differently."

Before joining WTS UK, Sanmugam spent nearly eight years at Apollo Global Management as director of tax, overseeing the company's global tax operations.

Her earlier career includes serving as a tax manager at CBRE UK, as well as working within the financial services tax practice at Deloitte UK as an assistant manager.

During her time at Deloitte, she also undertook a secondment as a tax adviser at Merrill Lynch.

Sanmugam said: "The tax industry is ready for something different, and I am excited to be joining a firm purpose-built to deliver it.

"I am looking forward to bringing my international experience to the team and helping our clients navigate an increasingly complex global tax environment."
