Services
Although Dugald and Jim can advise on all areas
of VAT, they have in-depth experience of:
Financial services
Jim's time at the Bank of Scotland group gives him an insider's
understanding of how to apply outsourcing and how to break through
industry jargon to maximise VAT recoveries.
Partial exemption
We have advised financial institutions, property developers, educational
establishments and charities on how to devise workable and cost-effective
partial exemption methods and to agree those methods with HM Customs
& Excise.
Oil and gas service sector
Dugald spent a couple of days each week for almost 14 years advising
clients in Aberdeen, London and the US on the VAT issues arising
in this constantly changing business sector. His experience here
is second to none in the UK.
International services
It's sometimes forgotten exactly how much cost can be tied up in
straightforward compliance with VAT legislation. Both Directors
have advised hi-tech companies and others on the VAT issues arising
from cross-border movement of goods and services, cutting through
the bureaucracy to their clients' benefit.
Commercial property
Anti-avoidance legislation can create unexpected VAT costs for the
unwary, in what may seem like a routine property deal. We can help
you to make sure that potential VAT costs are identified and, where
they can't be eliminated, minimised.
Dealings with HM Customs & Excise
We can help clients prepare for routine visits by the revenue authority
and so help contain management costs; we can attend during visits
to help in this process; we can help defend assessments and, where
all else fails, manage the appeals process.
Review of VAT accounting procedures
As part of the process of managing HM Customs & Excise's expectations
during visits to check accounting records, we can review systems
and procedures beforehand, make recommendations on any changes required
to ensure fuller compliance with VAT law and practice and advise
how to manage VAT cash flows.
Technical updates
We provide technical updates to clients which are relevant to their
business.
Please Note:
Money Laundering Regulations 2003
By advising clients on matters relating to value added tax, the
company is bound by the terms of the Money Laundering Regulations
2003, which came into force on 1 March 2004.
