Recent Case Studies

VAT Dispute
The client runs a chain of public houses and spends the majority of his time ensuring the quality of the beer and keeping the customers happy. This resulted in his accounting records being limited. HM Customs decided that the VAT returns were not sufficiently accurate and assessed him for 3 years worth of alleged missing VAT.
By working with the businessman and establishing what records were available and how missing information could be located we were able to substantially reduce his Tax Assessment and followed the case to a Vat Tribunal hearing to prove the point.

Rent Review
The client was issued with a “take it or leave it” rent review with a substantial increase over and above normal expectations. The matter was referred back to the landlords and utilising Independent Rent Review Expert a substantial reduction was achieved

Accounting Records
The client runs a Conservatory Building company and is an expert builder rather than a professional businessman / bookkeeper and his records were in a mess – raising interest from VAT and Inland Revenue.
By analysing the business with him, a simple effective manual record system has been set-up and accurate accounts can now be drawn up each month to allow him to assess how the business is doing

The client runs a Sandwich Shop and Outside Caterers. Again records are spread everywhere. By sitting down with the businessman an inefficient manual system has been turned into a simple computerised system giving simple up to date accurate information
