Delaying Can Cost You More Than Just Money

If you’ve received an HMRC penalty or investigation notice, don’t wait. Early legal intervention can mean the difference between a resolved dispute and a prolonged fight. I’ll guide you through appeals, reviews, or tribunal steps fast, clear, and professionally managed.

I help clients avoid costly missteps by stepping in early, preparing robust appeals, and negotiating effectively. With decades of experience, I know how to push back against unfair tax demands.

Take Control of the Situation — Before HMRC Does
HMRC doesn’t always get it right. Whether you’ve been hit with a penalty, an incorrect assessment, or an unreasonable deadline, I can challenge their decisions with confidence. I’ve handled hundreds of cases across direct and indirect tax bringing clarity, control, and powerful defence to every client.

You’re not alone, and you’re not powerless. HMRC decisions can be overturned but only if you act quickly and strategically. As a specialist tax barrister, I’ll help you navigate appeals, avoid further penalties, and protect your financial standing. Get expert representation and take back control of your case.

Common Questions About HMRC Appeals

Can I go straight to tribunal?
Sometimes. For VAT and other indirect taxes, yes. For Income Tax or PAYE, you usually need to go through HMRC’s internal process first.

Do I have to pay the tax or penalty first?
Not always. In hardship cases, we can request a delay in payment while your appeal is underway.

What is ADR, and should I use it?
Alternative Dispute Resolution is a formal negotiation process that can avoid a tribunal. It’s faster, cheaper, and often more successful and I can represent you through it.
