Tax Law

Members of Church Court Chambers have extensive experience in advising individuals, employees, directors and corporate clients in relation to a broad range of tax and associated financial matters, including tax investigations and prosecutions conducted by HMRC. Members can draw upon their cross-border experience to assist in both domestic and international matters.

Many of our Members have undertaken relevant secondments including with HMRC, the FCA, the Bank of England, PRA and PSR giving them useful insight and perspective. Members accept instructions on behalf of the various regulators, government agencies, and non-ministerial departments as well as those subject to their reach.

Practice in this area often requires a thorough knowledge of other areas of the law including company, contract, crime, and trusts. Our Members are well placed to provide strategic advice and support, providing a commercial and professional service.

Our experience includes domestic tax matters such as:

VAT & Excise Duties, including those imposed on oil, gas, liquefied natural gas, imported by tanker into UK waters etc.
Tax compliance and reporting including self reporting and investigations.
VAT frauds; prosecution and defence
Judicial Review.
