Property transactions very often involve VAT complexities, whether in relation to property development, property investment and/or purchasing a property for use in your trading business. We can ensure that your property transactions are properly structured for VAT purposes and that you maximise the benefit of the (sometimes hidden) VAT reliefs that apply.
Financial Services and insurance businesses (including intermediairies acting in those sectors) are some of the most complex business’ when it comes to VAT treatment, and it is important that you get specific advice on the VAT treatment of the supplies you make where you are operating a business within this sector. 
We can help businesses navigate through the complex rules that apply to the provision of travel services, including providing advice on how the Tour Operators Margin Scheme (TOMS) might apply to the services you are providing.
Working closely with our direct tax colleagues, we can provide specialist M&A VAT support, from VAT due diligence, to transaction support to VAT structuring advice, helping to minimise the impact of VAT on M&A transactions on both the buy-side and sell-side.
As more and more people start trading online there are often numerous VAT issues to navigate particularly now that the UK has separated from the EU for VAT purposes.
The changes introduced not only concern the rate of VAT that applies to goods and services, but also where the supply takes place (where there is a cross border element) and the timing and value of transactions for VAT purposes.
We have significant experience in advising clients in relation to cross-border VAT matters, specifically in navigating the significant changes that have arisen in relation to the VAT and Duty rules on trade between the UK and the EU.
