Our Tax Disputes and Disclosures approach
Tax disputes and disclosures can test the resolve, stress levels and patience of all those who go through one, yet time and time again our clients say that having us in their corner is invaluable. Our extensive experience gained over decades of dealing with HMRC investigations means we can give our clients first class advice when we represent them. It also allows us to understand the emotional impact a tax dispute or disclosure will have on some of our clients, so unsurprisingly our team’s ability to empathise with every individual’s circumstance is a recurring theme in the client feedback we receive.
Managing any tax investigation well requires an advisor with an enviable reputation amongst their peers, one who builds rapport with clients and HMRC alike, who has an excellent grasp of tax law and thinks strategically. Our focus is therefore on establishing positive relationships with clients and HMRC, providing straightforward and clear advice which enables our clients to resolve or settle their case on the best possible terms.
