Tax Dispute Resolution
The Litigation and Settlement Strategy, the Tax Tribunals system and the increasing influence of EU law on the operations and activities of businesses in the UK make it important for you to understand the role that tax dispute resolution might play in your business.
It’s important when planning a transaction or implementing a new business structure, to consider the risk of challenge by HMRC from the outset. We can help you reduce the risk of an HMRC enquiry or challenge e.g. ensuring that the commercial reasons for the transaction are clearly set out and recorded in writing, that implementation is thorough and complete and that all of the relevant documents are retained.
