What do our Tax Solicitors do?

 Our tax solicitors advise clients on all types of tax issues and disputes, including the following:

 

  • Your compliance with tax legislation.

If you are concerned about potential irregularities in your tax affairs, our tax solicitors will undertake a comprehensive audit of your tax returns, accounts, and other relevant documentation to confirm compliance with your tax obligations. If our investigations uncover any problems, we will work with you to devise a strategy to minimise any potential penalties.

  • Tax investigations

There are various types of tax investigations, ranging from routine compliance checks to full-scale examinations of your financial position, usually where fraud is suspected. It is essential to properly engage with any investigation initiated by HMRC. Failing to do so can escalate the issue and result in more severe penalties where wrongdoing is discovered.

  • Court or tribunal proceedings.

Our tax solicitors’ vast experience with HMRC matters often allows us to achieve favourable outcomes for our clients through negotiations with HMRC. However, in cases where negotiations are not successful, our in-depth knowledge and understanding of legal proceedings ensure you are in safe hands both in the tax tribunals and the courts.

  • Due diligence

If your business relies on HMRC licences such as WOWGR and AWRS, you must have sufficient due diligence processes in place relating to potential trading partners. HMRC will carry out checks to assess the effectiveness of your procedures. If it identifies serious failings, it may revoke your licences. Our tax solicitors will audit your due diligence checks and advise on any necessary changes in the context of the risks posed by your trading relationships.

  • Challenging HMRC’s seizure of your goods or cash

If you have received a Notice of Seizure or Seizure information Notice informing you that HMRC or Border Force have seized your goods, timely legal advice is crucial. Our tax solicitors will review the circumstances of your case and advise on the likelihood of securing the return of your goods. You may be able to challenge the seizure on the grounds that it was unlawful, ask that the goods be returned despite the seizure being lawful, or a combination of the two. We have assisted countless clients in achieving the return of their goods, including in cases that had been ongoing for a number of years before our involvement.
