Why Choose Us?
Our free initial consultation comes with absolutely no obligation on you to proceed with the case. There are no strings attached, and we’ll be delighted to talk to you whether you go ahead with us or not.
Very often, VAT is not a friendly or approachable tax, and sometimes the queries that arise can be stressful and worrying even for experienced professionals. That is why we put a premium on an approach which puts clients at their ease and makes picking up the phone something to look forward to rather than to avoid.
So even if your VAT query is tricky and concerning, you can relax, because as your VAT advisors, we will be happy to hear from you, and to take as much time as you need to go through the various bits and pieces of your case.
As VAT specialists, we know how important face-to-face contact can be when you’re trying to get to grips with a difficult tax issue. That’s why we are always happy to head out to meet you where you’re based, in any part of Northern Ireland.
If you would like to arrange a meeting somewhere convenient for you, just give us a call!
Where tax law is complex, it can be difficult to see the wood for the trees. Very often, where a solution can be found, it can seem more complicated than the problem it was designed to solve.
Our approach is to ensure that, regardless of how complicated the rules are, we will make it as easy to understand your position as possible. We will always take into account the commercial realities affecting you and will seek to tailor our solutions to your problems so that they fit your circumstances as closely as possible.
In other words, we will look to provide a solution that doesn’t just tell you what the law is, it will look to reassure you where you’re worried and to resolve your problems as practically and straightforwardly as possible.
