Tax Litigation
The Biggart Baillie tax litigation team deals with contentious issues arising with HM Revenue & Customs on behalf of a range of corporate and individual clients based throughout the UK.
Through intensive negotiation and mediation, the Biggart Baillie team, armed with the required combination of technical tax knowledge and forensic skills, ensures that the majority of disputes settle before reaching the stages of the Special Commissioners, the VAT Tribunal or a court.
In certain circumstances when litigation is unavoidable, we provide proactive advocacy to secure the most beneficial presentation of the dispute.
The team has a combined experience of over 20 years in tax practice coupled with the litigation experience of two solicitor advocates.
Often we will work in conjunction with the client’s accountant or independent tax adviser who recognises the need to involve specialist assistance in resolving their client’s dispute in the most advantageous way possible.
In addition to disputes with HM Revenue & Customs, our tax litigation practice also deals with professional indemnity claims where losses have occurred through incorrect tax advice. We also handle tax related disputes between companies and tax warranty and indemnity claims.
With a mix of tax expertise and experienced advocacy, our team can provide you or your clients with the best opportunity to resolve their dispute.
If you have an actual or potential issue looming and you would like us to help, please contact us.
