Our consultants have in excess of 50 years collective experience in HMRC laws and procedures.

Professional & Approachable VAT Consultancy.

Our team consists of consultants who have been HMRC VAT Inspectors, VAT trainers and VAT Policy Advisers. This means we have a breadth and depth of experience of the VAT system and we are well aware that assessments made by officers under the pressure of meeting targets are often made in error.

We also know the available public guidance cannot cover all the intricacies and variables that could result in reducing your VAT bill. Every case is different but public guidance is designed to cover general VAT principles only. We are highly experienced in writing public guidance and interpreting VAT laws.

Legally, VAT assessments produced by HMRC must be made in ‘best judgement’ and must not impede your business. We are well versed in what amounts to best judgement. The onus is on HMRC to ensure that assessments are both fair and reasonable. In our experience, well over 50% of VAT assessments fail this test. We are able to hold HMRC to account, to remind them of their legal responsibilities and to instruct them to reduce or cancel assessments they cannot substantiate.
