Registration of tax advisers with HMRC
Draft legislation in the Finance (No 2) Bill requiring registration with HMRC will impact in-house tax (and other) teams which interact with HMRC
Our tax experts work in three broad areas: transactional support, contentious tax and tax advisory.
We advise clients throughout our European network across the four sectors our firm focuses on:
- Asset management and investment funds
- Financial institutions
- Healthcare and life sciences
- Technology, media and telecommunications
Straddling our advisory and contentious activities are transfer pricing and specialist VAT practices, both led by partners recruited from the big four consultancy firms.
Our multidisciplinary tax team includes lawyers, accountants and economists. This breadth of expertise helps us see the bigger picture for our clients, including the potential for audit issues, regulatory implications, as well as reputational concerns. That means we can tackle high-value complex matters.
We’re smaller and nimbler, meaning we can offer the highest quality advice tailored to our clients’ specific needs, delivered quickly and focused on practical solutions.
