We regularly advise businesses on a range of domestic and international VAT issues.
Due to the complex nature of VAT, businesses can find themselves in conflict with HMRC. This may be due to differing views on the VAT liability of a transaction; it might be as a result of late compliance; or because they have received penalties. HMRC are also increasingly challenging the structure of commercial transactions and perceived VAT avoidance arrangements – these challenges can lead to protracted disputes.
We have achieved successful outcomes in negotiations with HMRC, on internal reviews, and by way of litigation before the Tax Tribunals and higher courts.
Our highly experienced team are members of bodies such as the VAT Practitioners Group. We are recognised by independent legal guides, The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, as a top-ranking firm in tax litigation.
