VAT

Experienced VAT Advisers

When representing clients to HMRC, we have a track record of achieving the best possible settlements with individual transactions, structures and assessments.

Our team work with businesses along with trusts, charities and public sector organisations to supply wide-ranging expertise.

The PKF Francis Clark team are also experts in other indirect taxes such as:

• Customs & excise duties
• Insurance premium taxes
• Environmental taxes

Our dedicated VAT team has helped many businesses understand these less well-known taxes and helped put mitigating procedures in place as well as maximise the potential reliefs that are available such as inward processing relief and duty deferment. With Brexit looming we have been working with clients to help them prepare and understand the potential impact that No Deal may have.

Our specialist VAT knowledge extends to advising tech spin-out companies, solar farms and wind generation and the marine sector on VAT issues.

VAT investigations

The number of investigations conducted by HMRC is increasing, meaning that the chances of being involved with one is becoming more likely. We have a team of specialists who work on VAT investigations, including those that are former HMRC inspectors who understand the process and what can and can’t be done which can be invaluable.

Making Tax Digital for VAT

Our staff are working closely with HMRC to trial its Making Tax Digital for VAT software and ensuring that our clients are prepared for the changeover from 1 April 2019.
