VAT that behaves predictably.
UK and cross-border VAT, customs duty, Plastic Packaging Tax and indirect tax recovery - handled with a focus on irrecoverable leakage.
Indirect tax is cashflow. Treat it accordingly.
Every £1 of irrecoverable VAT is £1 off the bottom line. We review partial exemption methods, cross-border supply chains and customs treatments specifically to find the money that has been quietly leaving the business.
Before work begins, we clarify the operating context, governance expectations, and commercial pressures behind the brief. That gives the engagement a clear purpose before technical analysis starts.
The result is a more complete advisory view: what matters now, where risk may surface next, and how recommendations can be implemented without creating unnecessary hand-offs or ambiguity.
Scope
Clarify the decision, deadline, stakeholders, and evidence standard before work begins.
Delivery
Combine partner judgement, technical review, and practical implementation planning in one workstream.
Follow-through
Convert findings into owners, actions, and next steps that leadership can track after the session.
Making Tax Digital & digital record-keeping
VAT and MTD readiness: digital links, bridged solutions, agent authorisation and HMRC interaction so filings and payments stay on rails.
Where we typically find value.
Partial exemption
Methodology review for businesses with exempt activities - often the single biggest source of over-recovery or leakage.
Cross-border supplies
Place-of-supply rules, OSS/IOSS registrations, and import VAT recovery.
TOGC and property
Transfer-of-going-concern analysis on property and business transfers.
Plastic Packaging Tax
Scope reviews and registration for UK PPT and EU analogues.
Customs & duty
Commodity code reviews, origin rules and duty deferment optimisation.
If indirect tax is more than 1% of revenue and hasn't been reviewed in three years, assume money is leaking.
