Specialist expertise

Joe specialises in resolving tax disputes and helping clients through HMRC investigations, enquiries and disclosures. He works with individuals, partnerships and owner-managed businesses to minimise unnecessary tax, interest and penalties and, in the most severe cases, avoiding criminal investigation.

Joe is experienced in dealing with all types of HMRC enquiry. He advises individuals suspected of tax fraud who are being investigated by HMRC under Code of Practice 9 (COP9).

As Joe is an ex-HMRC investigator, he has extensive knowledge of its inspection powers, assessing time limits and penalty procedures. Joe is highly skilled in identifying HMRC's concerns and restricting enquiries to those isolated issues.
