Our team has intimate knowledge of HMRC, not only because all our team members are previous HMRC employees, but because we liaise daily with the organisations that deal with your indirect tax responsibilities. Our in-depth knowledge of the application of VAT and Customs duties to your industry allows us to deal promptly with your enquiries and to ensure your VAT and Customs duty position is optimised.

Tax Risk Scorecard

As organisations increase their focus on the management of tax risk and ensuring robust processes and controls are in place; the emphasis is now on ‘how’ tax compliance is dealt with and making sure the right amount of tax is paid at the right time.

Score your tax risk, processes and controls to ensure good tax governance

Tax Risk

Our tax risk and integrity services reflect the changed climate in which businesses and tax advisors now operate; tax has become an emotive and high profile subject thanks to significant reporting in the media, punitive measures being taken by HMRC to challenge tax evasion and difficult economic times.
