John Henshall is an international tax partner based in London, specializing in transfer
pricing and supply-chain reorganizations. His experience covers all aspects of crossborder
planning, pricing, implementation, and tax audit defence.
Mr Henshall first engaged in business transformation work in 1991. More recently, he
has assisted companies in the FMCG, electronics, chemicals, financial, retail,
biotechnology, defence, finance and medical industries in the development and/or tax
audit defence of their tax-optimized business structures.
Mr Henshall is a leading expert in the transfer pricing of intellectual property. His
experience covers brands, business names, trade marks, patents, know-how and most
other forms of intellectual property. His work in this field includes both planning (such
as migration from UK ownership and using franchise models to optimize group tax
charge) and defence (both of licence fees or of the absence of a licence fee) for large
multinationals.
Mr Henshall’s project work includes:
• acting as lead partner on feasibility, design and implementation of several supplychain
projects covering commissionaire, stripped buy-sell, contract and toll
manufacturing, contract research and development, IP licensing, franchising,
central purchasing, and shared service centres;
• tax audit defence review and advocacy;
• transfer pricing on supply-chain structures.
• experience in the telecommunications, biotech, medical device, manufacturing, oil
and gas, fast-moving consumer goods, financial, pharmaceutical, automotive and
aerospace sectors.
Training initially with the UK’s Inland Revenue, Mr Henshall went into private
practice in 1988. He is published regularly in international tax journals and is sought
for comment in articles concerning supply-chain reorganizations. Mr Henshall
submits material to the OECD on the transfer pricing and permanent establishment
issues raised by these structures. He also lectures in the UK and Europe on transfer
pricing, intellectual property taxation and business transformations. Foreign
governments (including the People’s Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of
Iran) have consulted him regarding the modernization of their approach to
international taxation.
