Our leading VAT specialists have helped a wide range of organisations of all sizes address VAT concerns. The team have helped businesses save VAT and avoid many pitfalls.
Examples of our work have included:
- Where HM revenue and customs had issued an assessment for £6m - this case was never likely to be quick or simple but in the end we helped the client recover the whole £6m.
- Suggesting to a client that they need not charge VAT but instead recover VAT incurred on their costs. This led to a refund of over £300,000.
- Assisting a company that was placed in difficulty after buying a business from a receiver, and Customs demanded security for VAT. An appeal to the VAT tribunal was made and negotiations were conducted resulting in the Commissioners dropping their requirement for £300,000 security to be placed.
- We acted for a trader, who was being pursued for alleged tax evasion involving dishonesty, and negotiated a successful settlement involving no penalty and relief for notional input tax.
- We were appointed to assist in a long running case where Customs alleged that taxable supplies had been made. The case was quickly settled with no VAT due and successfully recovered costs and interest from Customs.
- Appointed by solicitors, we provided an expert report in a substantial VAT negligence claim, and numerous other appointments as expert in negligence claims.
- We helped a client in difficulty with accounting for bad debt relief, and agreed a deal with Customs for no penalties and just one years worth of interest.
