  • We assist with HMRC enquiries across personal, business, trust, and investment affairs, including Schedule 36 notices, clarification requests, and follow-up correspondence. Our role is to position behaviour accurately, mitigate penalties, and guide communication through to resolution.

  • Where HMRC suspects under-declared tax, it may raise a discovery assessment. Time limits typically range from 4 years (innocent error) to 6 years (careless) and 20 years (deliberate). We help defend behaviour positioning, mitigate penalties, and secure commercially proportionate outcomes.

  • Supporting businesses through VAT enquiries, assessments, and penalties — including supply classification, input/output tax treatment, place of supply, cross-border transactions, and partial exemption calculations. We help mitigate penalties, reduce exposure, and accelerate resolution.

  • We support clients making voluntary and contractual disclosures to regularise historic issues — including offshore arrangements, legacy remuneration structures, and investment vehicles. Our approach aims to minimise exposure, protect assets, and restore compliance.

  • We help clients pursue ADR to resolve contentious enquiries without litigation, using structured negotiation to narrow disputes and accelerate settlement.

  • Where cases progress to tribunal, we support advisers and legal teams with expert evidence, valuation impact, behavioural analysis, and commercially grounded dispute strategy.

  • Partner-Led Support
    Every case is overseen by a senior specialist with direct dispute experience.

  • Collaborative & Adviser-Friendly
