HMRC Transfer Pricing specialist, Ed Morris, joins Deloitte London

Deloitte UK has confirmed that Ed Morris joined the Firm on 1 December from HMRC International Division as a director in the Transfer Pricing group.

Postscript (19 Jan 09): Just received a formal press release from Deloitte about this move:

Mark Atkinson, transfer pricing partner in the Deloitte tax practice, commented: “We are delighted that Eddie has joined us.  His extensive experience with HMRC International, and the former Inland Revenue International group, makes him a great asset to the team.  In addition, a secondment at the EU Commission from 2005 to 2007, where he was a transfer pricing advisor working for the EU Joint Transfer Pricing Forum, has made him especially attuned to the needs of business.”

Edward Morris, transfer pricing director at Deloitte, said: “Transfer pricing is one the highest areas of risk for HMRC at the moment and has also become an area where other fiscal authorities are increasingly active.  In the current challenging economic environment, transfer pricing concerns – and double taxation relief – are more relevant than ever.  I’m looking forward very much to helping Deloitte’s clients face these challenges.”
