Business Tax

Our tax solicitors will help you understand and deal with whatever tax situation your business faces. We advise on:

• Corporation tax
• Value Added Tax (VAT)
• Property tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
• Employment tax
• IR35
• Capital allowances.

We will tell you what you need to do to stay legally compliant and avoid disputes with HMRC. We can also advise you on how to structure your business, contracts, and transactions in the most tax-efficient manner. 

If you do face an HMRC dispute or audit, we can help you prepare and represent you through the process. 

We also negotiate tax covenants and tax warranties during mergers and acquisitions, and tax provisions in asset sale agreements.

We work with a wide variety of businesses across all major industry sectors, including:

• Owner-managed businesses
• SMEs
• Large corporates
• Charities and unincorporated associations.
