Corporate & Social Responsibility

At ETC Tax, we recognise the importance of being a socially responsible organisation.

We are constantly working toward improving our CSR through employee health and safety, care for the environment and our involvement within the local community.

Fundraising

ETC Tax believes in giving back and supporting local charities and all of the events we run have a charitable element. Whilst we do not currently have a designated charity, we have been lucky enough to work with many great local charities including Home-Start, Warrington, CAFT, Girls Out Loud, Just Drop In and SmartWorks.

Pro Bono

Pro bono is a Latin phrase for professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment.

Unlike volunteering the idea is that a pro bono service draws on the specific skills of professionals to provide services to those who are unable to afford them.

Most of our pro-bono assignments involved assisting those who are in dispute with HMRC, and we have completed a number of pro-bono assignments, including

• Assisting a group of 21 taxpayers who were the victims of fraud, and against whom HMRC was asserting that a double SDLT liability had arisen on a single ‘real world’ transaction.

• Assisting a group of 7 taxpayers against whom HMRC had issued penalties for failing to produce information which the taxpayer did not have nor could obtain.

• Assisting a number of contractors who were at threat of bankruptcy from the controversial ‘loan charge’.

• Assisting a vulnerable person in dealing with a assessment to income tax in relation to rental income on a buy-to-let property

If you would like our help with a pro-bono matter, please get in touch with us via enquiries@etctax.co.uk and we will let you know whether we are able to help.

Volunteer time off

Our team are encouraged to take a paid day off each year to assist with a local charity or community project or to volunteer.
