Tax Disputes & Litigation

If you disagree with HMRC about how much tax you should pay, our specialist tax lawyers can help resolve your dispute quickly and efficiently.

We offer expert advice and representation at any stage of your tax dispute, whether you’re:

Concerned about your tax compliance history
Worried that you’ve under-declared on your self-assessment tax return
Under civil or criminal investigation
Facing court or tribunal action
Concerned about HMRC receiving information from an overseas tax authority under Automatic Exchange of Information agreements
Unsure if you’ve given HMRC the right information under Requirement to Correct (RTC) regulations.

Tax disputes can have serious consequences. You can face large penalty payments or even criminal charges if you don’t cooperate with HMRC investigations. It’s vital to get legal advice as soon as possible to manage these risks.

We understand that disputes with large government bodies like HMRC can be intimidating. With our highly knowledgeable solicitors on your side, you can rest assured that you’re moving ahead with the support of one of the UK’s largest private client teams.

We’re experienced with all forms of tax disputes and investigations, including both civil and criminal litigation. We’re skilled at dealing with HMRC and other authorities, with a strong track record of negotiating positive resolutions for our clients.

You’ll benefit from a personalised service tailored to the unique details of your dispute. If necessary, we’ll enlist independent tax counsels or forensic tax investigators to ensure the very best outcome for your dispute.

Previously, HMRC has given taxpayers the opportunity to report tax on any undeclared income. Many of these voluntary initiatives have ended and HMRC will take tougher action on taxpayers who haven’t updated their tax affairs.

If you’re unsure about how to report any undeclared income to HMRC or are in the middle of a tax dispute, it’s important to speak to a solicitor as soon as possible. Call us today on 0370 1500 100 to find out more about how we can help.
