Our specialist tax services

Many businesses come up against the complexities of VAT. High quality advice from our highly regarded VAT specialists will give you the knowledge you need.

You can ask us for help in all the areas where VAT challenges crop up, including:

  • VAT registration and deregistration
  • VAT planning
  • Preparation of VAT returns
  • Dealing with HMRC enquiries
  • Agreeing special VAT treatment with HMRC
  • Attending VAT inspections
  • Guidance on the rules and requirements of EU countries

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

“

Braccans Ltd

Yisroel Kohn, Director

We received an assessment for VAT that we had reclaimed on our returns but for various reasons, HMRC felt we had wrongly claimed and assessed for it back.

We appreciate the time and effort you took to engage with the HMRC and are really happy that HMRC have now withdrawn from the appeal so we will have the assessments cancelled in full.

This is the second case of ours where you represented us and HMRC withdrew the assessment following our appeal to the VAT tribunal.

“

Precision

Jack Silver, Director

With BKL’s vast knowledge on VAT, patience and attention to detail, they guided us every step of the way by always being available when we needed advice on how to proceed with a VAT enquiry.

The enquiry finally came to a very successful close by the VAT officer’s decision being overturned completely, without having to end up in Tribunal.

“

Chinuch UK

Aharon Pinczewski, Chief Executive

We wanted to thank you for all your assistance and help on a pro bono basis that you have given to us and our member schools re the new complex VAT and school fee rules.

We really appreciate the many hours of time you have given us and especially to co-chair the meetings with our schools in Manchester, Gateshead and London to explain to them the new detailed rules for them to consider.

“

Kalinga Holdings Ltd

Neal Patel, Director

I wanted to thank you again for the work you did on our appeal against the VAT assessment issued by HMRC.

It was an amazing result that HMRC withdrew from the VAT tribunal hearing 15 minutes before it was meant to start and conceded the case.

I appreciate the work you did in drafting the detailed and comprehensive skeleton argument and the case you were going to present with the evidence in the tribunal bundle.

Thank you again for a great result.

“

Wellsbourne Ltd

Yisroel Kohn, Director

We appreciate the time and effort you took to engage with the VAT officer and HMRC solicitors office after the ADR with additional evidence and technical arguments regarding the issues and are really happy that HMRC have now withdrawn from the appeal so we will have the assessments cancelled in full.

So thank you again for all of your work on this to get us this result that we look forward to working with you on future projects.
