- Hi, I’m Gerard Nicholas Soverall, an experienced Tax Professional and career mentor who has worked with renowned firms across the UK, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia.
- In 2017, while still a Senior Partner with PwC South Africa, I needed to explore a new region that would contribute to my personal and professional growth. The Middle East caught my attention! Why? VAT was being introduced.
- By Nov 2017, I was in Saudi Arabia and started working at KPMG KSA, Heading their Indirect Taxation.
- Here is why I moved to Saudi Arabia and my insights into the evolving Saudi Arabian market for tax professionals.
Finding My Calling in Taxation
Even as an accomplished tax professional today, it’s fascinating to trace back to my roots.
To start with, I graduated in biology and chemistry.
Unsure of what to do next, I joined the Civil Service in the UK and was assigned to HM Customs and Excise (now HM Revenue & Customs). Over here, I got an opportunity to work in the Value Added Tax (VAT) department.
