Tax
Our tax service line covers five key areas: Corporate Tax, Human Capital, Indirect Tax, Private Clients and Tax Disputes. The team has grown significantly in recent years and has ambitious plans for the future.
We work across all sectors, with specialisms in insurance, property, technology, international businesses, high net worth individuals and globally mobile individuals.
Corporate tax
Our corporate clients include everything from family businesses and start-ups, to listed clients and international businesses. We provide specialist corporate and business tax advice on both a local and international level, which includes senior accounting officer and large business compliance, transaction services, due diligence, R&D tax relief, employer solutions and global mobility. We also support both the personal and business affairs of partnerships and LLPs.
Human Capital
Our Human Capital team works with a range of organisations and individuals, including listed firms, entrepreneurial privately-owned businesses and not for profit organisations. We provide advice on employment tax, employee benefits, off-payroll labour and international assignments, including policy drafting and support for every stage of the assignment lifecycle. We can also assist with short-term business visitor reporting and tracking, share plans and incentives.
Personal tax
Our Personal tax team advises individuals, the self-employed, partners, trustees and executors with their UK and international tax affairs. Our services include all aspects of tax, including self-assessment, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, property (both residential and commercial), trusts, family wealth and estate planning, residence and domicile issues.
Indirect taxes
We are VAT specialists and our breadth of experience reflects the variety of clients we work for. We deal with a broad range of consultancy and compliance work. We support businesses in meeting their VAT compliance objectives and advise on any VAT issues that they may face. We also provide advice and compliance services on other indirect taxes, such as Insurance Premium Tax, Customs duty, and Air Passenger Duty.
Tax disputes
HMRC is increasing the number and scope of tax investigations into both individuals and businesses, covering all aspects of potential underpayments of tax, including offshore investments, personal and corporate Self Assessment Tax Returns, PAYE and NIC compliance and VAT. If an issue arises, our team will match the right specialists with the client’s needs to provide them with the necessary support – whether for a routine HMRC enquiry or a more complex investigation.
