Ernst & Young has been appointed to advise Brit Insurance on a more competitive tax regime that could see the underwriter quit the UK market.
According to a report by the Financial Times, the company has been considering its options for several months and is seeking advice from the Big Four firm in assessing alternative jurisdictions.
Such a move could offer a reduced rate of corporation tax.

The news follows reports earlier this year the FTSE 250 company called on the government to overhaul the corporate tax system.
