Tax Investigations & Tax Disputes

The team brings together our head of Corporate Tax, partner Simon Moulden, and litigation lawyers with experience of conducting large scale litigation. Prior to joining Pannone in 2004 Simon worked at KPMG and AMEC plc.

We are able to provide specialist legal expertise in this complex area of law. We provide clients with a comprehensive service covering pre-emptive advice on tax issues, enquiries and litigation at the Tribunals and Higher Courts.

We work closely with the teams in corporate tax and private client tax and if tax fraud is a concern, we will involve colleagues in our Regulatory team who are nationally ranked for their expertise in this area. As a consequence of being able to call upon recognised expertise across a broad skill set, we are able to provide a holistic service in relation to tax issues. 

We can advise in respect of disputes involving all aspects of both direct and indirect taxes and have recent experience on subjects ranging from stamp duty land tax avoidance schemes, import duty tariffs and self-employed/employee status.

If you consider you have received negligent advice in relation to tax planning, we can investigate and advise you as to whether you have a remedy in a professional negligence claim.

We often work with other professional advisers such as accountants, tax advisers and tax investigation practitioners.

In certain cases we may be able to arrange funding to finance the legal costs via a third party funder. In other cases we may be able to enter into an arrangement whereby our fee is directly related to the outcome of your case. We will explain all the options available to you.
