HMRC Tax Dispute Lawyers

We have years of experience negotiating with HMRC and handling tax appeals at the Tax Tribunals and in the High Court dealing with contentious tax disputes.

We also work extensively with Accountants, Tax Investigation practices and former HMRC Officers to ensure your matter is handled correctly. The depth of our combined capabilities allows us to represent clients in a variety of situations, whether advising private or corporate clients during tax audits, pursuing administrative appeals, or litigating tax matters at the Tax Tribunal, Court or in tax appeals. Clients hire us because of our extensive experience in all areas, and especially because of our litigation experience – when necessary, we know when and how to litigate against HMRC.

Tax Law Practice Areas:

• Civil or criminal tax investigations by HMRC;
• HMRC allegations that artificial tax arrangements or avoidance schemes used to underpay tax;
• Responding to HMRC allegations that tax or duty has been evaded, under-declared or underpaid, or that a tax fraud has taken place;
• Disputes with HMRC including review of penalties and challenging seizure;
• VAT Inspections & Investigations;
• VAT Assessment Appeals;
• Applications for Binding Tariff Information (BTI);
• WOWGR ‘fit and proper’ registration applications;
• Customs Tariff Classification assurance;
• Income Tax;
• Code of Practice 8 (COP8) – HMRC suspect artificial tax arrangement or avoidance scheme deployed to underpay tax; COP8 is normally a civil tax investigation but if HMRC suspect fraud then it can become a COP9 or full tax fraud investigation;
• Code of Practice 9 (COP9) – HMRC suspect serious tax fraud or significant tax loss due to deliberate conduct; COP9 offered as an opportunity to agree a civil resolution for criminal tax evasion;
• Allegations by HMRC of Tax Evasion or Avoidance; and
