Tax Disputes & Investigations

Tax, and specifically the payment of tax, affects every business and individual. However, navigating HMRC and its processes can be complicated. Our team has direct experience of working within HMRC and can help you reach a satisfactory agreement - for you or your business - as well as helping you to build a solid working relationship with HMRC going forward.

In recent years the authorities have become far more aggressive in collecting tax that they believe is payable. However, this aggressive approach is often not warranted and in many cases our specialist team has been able to secure the correct outcome at an early stage. We know that most clients want to settle without going to court and this is always our first step. When this is unavoidable, we are never afraid to litigate. We have experience of taking matters through the whole court system including and up to the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Understandably, for many clients the prospect of tax litigation is daunting. We minimise this by helping you prepare and present your cases. Our support runs all the way from initial conversations and advice on strategy and chances of success, through to drafting court documents and conducting cases before the courts. We can also prepare your witnesses to make giving evidence as stress free as possible.
