OFFER OF SUPPORT IN VAT TRIBUNAL

Study of past decisions, reinforced by personal observations and participation in recent VAT Tribunals, has convinced Anthony Elliot-Square that traders have severely reduced their chances of success in Appeal because they have not effectively challenged HMRC’s so-called expert evidence.

We believe that the majority of HMRC claims can be disproved if adequate resources are devoted to collecting and analysing authoritative information which is then presented to the Tribunal .  Additionally we believe appropriate publicity regarding the HMRC activity and their methodology should be sought to raise awareness of their actions.   To achieve this we have identified a number of professional partners who can help traders address these issues.

If you have a VAT Tribunal Appeal pending, and wish to improve your chances of success, please contact Anthony Elliot-Square on 01963-251222 or email Anthony@thirddimension.co.uk.

REMEMBER:

- You only get one chance to present evidence, or to respond to HMRC claims – you must be fully prepared before the Tribunal and be ready for every eventuality.
- HMRC’s aim is NOT to be fair, it is to win at all costs, to deny as many traders as possible their input tax refund.
- HMRC will use anything to influence the Tribunal against the trader and to taint the industry and the trader.
- The Tribunal considers you guilty from the outset – you have to prove your innocence.

This is not an attempt to take business from the various legal teams and VAT consultants currently supporting traders.  We would be happy to work with your current team to provide the necessary independent support and evidence required to help you win your case and to further show that HMRC has acted inappropriately throughout this process and certainly have not acted in the public’s best interest.

Please get in contact to discuss your case.
